Chris Jordan’s hat-tricks

In an electrifying T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 encounter against the United States in Barbados on Sunday, England's seamer Chris Jordan etched his name into the annals of cricket history by becoming the first Englishman to achieve a T20 International (T20I) hat-trick. Jordan's feat marks the third hat-trick of the ongoing tournament, following two hat-tricks by Australia's Pat Cummins in successive games against Bangladesh and Afghanistan in the Super 8s.

Jordan's extraordinary accomplishment unfolded during the 19th over of the US innings. He initiated his sensational over by dismissing Corey Anderson. Following a dot delivery, Jordan proceeded to clean bowl Ali Khan, trapped Nosthush Kenjige leg-before-wicket and then shattered Saurabh Netravalkar's stumps to complete his hat-trick. Jordan capped off the over with another wicket, amassing a total of four wickets in a single over.

The United States experienced a dramatic collapse, losing five wickets in just six deliveries and going from 115 for five to being all out for the same score. This dramatic turn of events is only the third instance in men's T20I history where five wickets have fallen at the same score.

Jordan's accomplishment also places him in an elite group, as he becomes only the second bowler after Ireland's Curtis Campher to record four wickets in an over in T20 World Cup history. This extraordinary performance not only highlights Jordan's skill and precision but also cements his status as a key player for England in the tournament.
