Seamer Chris Jordan made history by becoming the first England player to achieve a T20I hat-trick during the T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 match against the United States in Barbados on Sunday.
Jordan's remarkable feat occurred in the 19th over of the US innings, where he took four wickets. He started by dismissing Corey Anderson, followed by clean-ups of Ali Khan and trapping Nosthush Kenjige leg-before, before completing the hat-trick by castling Saurabh Netravalkar.
Jordan's hat-trick is the third of the ongoing T20 World Cup, following Australia's Pat Cummins who achieved the feat twice in successive games against Bangladesh and Afghanistan in the Super 8s. This marks only the second edition where three hat-tricks have been recorded since the 2021 tournament in the United Arab Emirates.
The United States suffered a shocking collapse, losing five wickets in six deliveries, plummeting from 115 for five to all out at the same score. This marks only the third instance in all men's T20Is where five wickets have fallen at the same score.
