Chris Jordan is now the first English bowler to take a hat-trick in the T20 World Cup 2024. He is the ninth bowler in the tournament’s history to the feat.
It was a moment to cherish for the English pacer of Caribbean origin as Chris Jordan managed to produce one of the finest performances in the T20 World Cup 2024 Super Eigth Clash against the United States of America at the Kensington Oval in Barbados on Sunday.
The fast-bowler did not have much to do other than be on the outfield for the majority of the game but when asked to come and bowl in the death overs, he did not disappoint as he picked up four wickets in the penultimate over which also included a hat-trick.
For those who might be unaware, Jordan was born in Barbados and being able to take a hat trick makes it an even more special occasion for the West Indies-origin cricketer.

Coming in for the final over, which was his second in the innings, he started off with the wicket of the former New Zealand and now-American cricketer Corey Anderson who was looking to tee off in the final stages of the innings.
The pacer then followed it with a hat-trick which included the wickets of tail-enders like Ali Khan, Nosthush Kenjige and Saurabh Netravalkar to put an end to the USA’s batting innings at 115/10.
The English quickly became the ninth player to get a hat-trick in the T20 World Cup and is also the first player from England to do the feat as well. Pat Cummins from Australia had earlier taken back-to-back hat-tricks across the previous two fixtures for the Aussies.

Jordan’s efforts have ensured that England is in the driver’s seat and just required to chase down the total in under 18.4 over according to the on-air commentators to seal their spot in the semi-finals which should be a cakewalk considering their deep batting unit.
