Jos Buttler eclipses T20 run record as Super Giants cruise past Welsh Fire

At Old Trafford, Manchester Super Giants chased down Welsh Fire's 155-4 target with nine wickets in hand, finishing at 161-1. Jos Buttler surpassed Kieron Pollard's record of 14,803 T20 runs, scoring 51 from 20 balls and launching three back-to-back sixes. Tim Seifert contributed 62 off 36, and the pair reached the required 156 with 31 balls to spare.

Welsh Fire's opening stand of 125 between Matt Short (71) and Phil Salt (48) set a solid platform, but wickets fell quickly after Salt's dismissal. Super Giants' opening partnership of 74 between Seifert and debutant Paul Walter, who hit 37, helped maintain momentum, while Ben Kellaway's fielding effort was noted. The victory moves the Super Giants into third place, four points behind second-placed Fire.
