Chris Jordan became the first England player to take a hat-trick in international T20 cricket at the World Cup against the USA. The 35-year-old took FOUR wickets in the over to end the USA's innings in England's final Super 8s game. England have to beat the USA to stand any chance of making the semi-finals, and after Jordan created history, they stand a very good chance of doing so, chasing just 116.
The over started with Jordan getting Corey Anderson before he removed Muhammad Ali-Khan, Nosthush Kenjige and Sarubah Netravalkar in consecutive deliveries. CHRIS JORDAN. 🤯🤩 W O W W W pic.

He followed that up with a delivery that caught Kenjige plumb in front, the batter reviewed, but he had no chance. Netravalkar then came out and saw his middle stump removed with another stunning delivery. Jordan, who was born in Barbados, spoke to the media immediately after wrapping up the USA's innings.
He said: "It is an unbelievable feeling, to at least restrict them after a solid fielding performance. To do it at a special place like this is always nice. "I've been on a hat-trick a couple of times before but got it wrong so I'm just glad I was able to do it.
"It was a really good performance. We summed up conditions well. Adil Rashid controlled it and Liam Livingstone bowled well and really set.
