[Watch] Trumpelmann Roars As His Menacing Delivery Uproots Buttler's Off Stump

Ace Namibian pacer Ruben Trumpelmann ensured a dream start for his side in the ongoing T20 World Cup match against England as he castled Jos Buttler with a beauty. Soon after the game began following a long rain delay, Trumpelmann weaved his magic with the new ball, dismissing Buttler cheaply. 

The incident occurred in the second over of England's innings after David Wiese kept their openers quiet in a disciplined opening over. After conceding a single off his first ball, the left-arm pacer bowled a full length delivery to bamboozle the English skipper. 

Coming from over the wicket, Trumpelmann pitched it full as the ball jagged back into Buttler after pitching. 

The prodigious seam movement caught Buttler off guard, with the veteran batter failing to connect a lofted shot. The ball struck him on his pad before being deflected to uproot his off stump. 

Trumpelmann's bowling partner Wiese jolted England with another blow, getting Phil Salt out with a magical knuckle ball. Riding on the pacers' clinical performance, Namibia have reduced England to 18 for two in 2.5 overs in the rain-marred encounter. 

Considering it's a must-win game for England, they would be hoping for a game-changing partnership between Jonny Bairstow and Harry Brook, who are unbeaten as of writing.
