Chris Jordan etched his name in T20 World Cup history on Sunday, becoming the second bowler to achieve a hat-trick in the tournament. During England’s match against USA in Barbados, Jordan delivered a sensational over, claiming four wickets in a single over, including the coveted hat-trick. His exceptional performance saw him finish with impressive figures of 4/10 in 2.5 overs, ultimately bowling out the United States for a meager 115 runs. This marked the third hat-trick in this edition of the World Cup, with the first two being claimed by Pat Cummins against Bangladesh and then Afghanistan.
Jordan’s hat-trick victims were Ali Khan, Nosthush Kenjige, and Saurabh Netravalkar. He began the over by dismissing Corey Anderson on the very first ball. This achievement makes it the ninth hat-trick ever recorded in T20 World Cups, solidifying Jordan’s place in the tournament’s history books. Notably, he has become the first English player to accomplish this feat in the competition. Jordan’s remarkable bowling display played a pivotal role in securing a dominant victory for England, showcasing his immense talent and the team’s strength in the tournament.
