Barbados
Pacer Chris Jordan became the first England bowler to take a hattrick in T20 Internationals as he destroyed the USA lower order during the Super 8 clash in Barbados on Sunday (Jun 23).
The right-arm speedster was shoehorned into the playing XI due to the indifferent form of Mark Wood but showed his class by ripping through the inexperienced yet dogged US batting lineup. The milestone was all the more special for Jordan as it came at Jordan's birthplace.
"Unbelievable feeling (to take the hattrick), was good to restrict them. Getting it (hattrick) at a special place is always nice. Glad I was able to hit on the target. Just finished it off towards the end," said Jordan.
"We summed up the conditions pretty well, we knew they will came hard at us in the powerplay, USA have been playing well in the tournament. Rashid set up the game for us," he added.

The pacer, who has been in and out of the England squad for the last few years, achieved the feat in the penultimate over of the innings. With the USA scoreboard reading 115/6, Jordan first dismissed well-set Corey Anderson (29) as the southpaw heaved one down the throat of Harry Brook at long on.
All-rounder Ali Khan was the next to perish after surviving a delivery. Khan's offstump was rattled before Nosthush Kenjige was caught plumb on the crease in successive deliveries.
Jordan's third victim was Saurabh Netravalkar whose middle stump was sent cartwheeling as England players swarmed their paceman.
In the end, Jordan finished with four wickets in the over which was only the second time a bowler had achieved such a feat in T20 World Cups. Ireland's Curtis Campher had achieved the record against the Netherlands in 2021.
