BRIDGETOWN: Experienced right-arm pacer Chris Jordan on Sunday, made history as he became the first England bowler to take a hat-trick in men’s T20Is.

Jordan achieved the feat in England’s crucial ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 Super Eights fixture against the co-host United States of America (USA) here at Kensington Oval.

Chris Jordan amassed the landmark in the penultimate over of the USA innings.

He dismissed experienced all-rounder Corey Anderson on the first delivery of the over before bowling a dot to Ali Khan.

He then proceeded to castle Ali with a pacy delivery and trapped Nosthush Kenjige leg before wicket before cleaning up Saurabh Netravalkar to complete the hat-trick.

For the unversed, Jordan’s hat-trick is the third in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 after Australia’s Pat Cummins’ back-to-back hat-tricks against Bangladesh and Afghanistan.

Furthermore, this is only the second edition of a T20 World Cup after the 2021 edition in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), in which three hat-tricks were taken.

His four-wicket over resulted in the USA losing five wickets in the span of just six deliveries, thus, slipping from 115/5 to all out on the same score.

It was only the third instance in the history of the men’s T20Is when a team lost five wickets with the same score on the board.
