Chris Jordan became only the second bowler in T20 World Cup history to pick four wickets in a single over during England’s Super Eight match against USA in Barbados on Sunday.

Jordan removed Corey Anderson, Muhammad Ali Khan, Nosthush Kenjige and Saurabh Netravalkar in the space of five deliveries in the 19th over to achieve the feat. The last three wickets got him a hat-trick, the third of this edition of the T20 World Cup. Pat Cummins of Australia picked the first two.

Curtis Campher of Ireland was the first bowler to pick four wickets in a single over, against the Netherlands during the 2021 edition in Abu Dhabi.

While there have been seven instances of four wickets or more in an over in the T20 World Cup, Campher and Jordan’s are the only two that don’t involve a run out.

Jordan’s efforts of four for 10 saw USA bundle out for 115, setting England up for a straightforward chase.
