T20 World Cup 2024: Chris Jordan becomes first England player to pick up a hattrick in T20s

Chris Jordan has once again showcased why he is one of the best bowlers at the death. USA were at 115/6 and were looking to post a competitive total on the board but Jordan came in and took four wickets in the 19th over of the US innings at Kensington Oval Barbados on Sunday. He took a hat trick in the process and thereby became the first England bowler to attain the mark in T20s. Jordan dismissed Ali Khan, Nosthush Kenjige, and Saurabh Netravalkar, on ducks respectively.
