Buttler challenges Lancashire to win biggest T20 games
London, July 18 (UNI) Jos Buttler said Lancashire Lightning must rise to the challenge of winning the "big prize" if they want to claim only their second T20 Blast title. Buttler top-scored with 77 in Lancashire's win at old rivals Yorkshire at Headingley on Thursday to secure a top-two finish in the North Group with one match to spare. That guarantees a home quarter-final in September as they chase a spot in Finals Day at Edgbaston later that month. Since the competition began in 2003, Lancashire have qualified for the knockout stages 18 times, but their sole success remains in 2015. "We've been a really consistent team but we haven't won the big prize enough," Buttler told BBC Radio Lancashire. "We have to find a way to win and the quarter-final is our next challenge." Buttler and Liam Livingstone are the only players left at Lancashire from their T20 Blast title triumph a decade ago. The Red Rose have been back to Finals Day on three occasions since then, but have won only one game out of four on the biggest domestic stage. They have avoided a trip to South Group powerhouses Surrey and Somerset by finishing in the top two and can look forward to one more game at Emirates Old Trafford. "Lancashire has a history of playing well in T20 cricket," Buttler added. "We've had a really good side for a number of years so it's important we can make the most of that. "We've got a really good team and it's important we drive that forward, try to get into Finals Day and go all the way." UNI BM
