The Barbados-born seamer becomes the first man representing England to take three-in-a-row and the eighth different player in Men's T20 World Cup history
Chris Jordan delivered the first hat-trick by a man representing England in T20 internationals to blow away the United States in the Men's T20 World Cup at Kensington Oval.
The 35-year-old Barbados-born seamer produced an astonishing quadruple wicket-maiden as USA were bowled out for 115 in both side's final Super 8s match.
Jordan started the set by having Corey Anderson caught by Harry Brook at long-on.
But then came the moments of history. Ali Khan's (0) off-stump was knocked out of the ground and Nosthush Kenjige (0) was trapped lbw first up.

No.11 Saurabh Netravalkar (0) then lost his middle stump to give Jordan, on the island he was bought up on, a memorable treble. It finished off a United States innings which saw the last five wickets fall without the scoreboard moving to give England a clear run at reaching the semi-finals.
He joins a list containing Nat Sciver-Brunt and Anya Shrubsole as players with T20I hat-tricks for England and a group of seven to complete the feat in Men's T20 World Cups.
Pat Cummins has registered successive hat-tricks against Afghanistan and Bangladesh, joining a list which includes Brett Lee, Curtis Campher, Wanindu Hasaranga, Kagiso Rabada, Karthik Meiyappan and Josh Little.

The innings also saw Jordan move onto 47 catches in T20Is, the new watermark by an England men's fielder, surpassing former white-ball skipper Eoin Morgan by completing the dismissal of Harmeet Singh.
"Unbelievable feeling," said Jordan when asked for his reflections, "to do it in a special place like this was nice.
"I've been on a hat-trick a couple of times already and I've got it wrong so I was just glad I was able to get it on target.
"I just wanted to get the ball on target and finish it off and luckily I was able to do it."
