Pace bowler Chris Jordan celebrated his return to the England side with a hat-trick on Sunday in the land of his birth to set the defending champions up for a crushing 10 wicket victory over the United States and a place in the T20 World Cup semi-finals.
England pacer Chris Jordan etched his name in the history books with a hat-trick in the ongoing T20 World Cup on Sunday. The right-arm pacer became the first-ever bowler from England to claim a hat-trick in T20Is. He returned figures of 4 for 10 in 2.4 overs as spirited England bowled out minnows United States for 115 runs in 18.5 overs during their Super Eight match in Barbados, the place of Jordan's birth. USA batted first in the game as England skipper Jos Buttler won the toss and opted to bowl first. The defending champions picked Jordan in place of Mark Wood in the only change to their line-up against an unchanged USA.
After their narrow loss to South Africa, England captain Jos Buttler admitted that his batters couldn't match the big-hitting prowess of Proteas keeper-batter Quinton de Kock. England lost to South Africa by seven-run loss in their T20 World Cup Super Eight match in Gros Islet, St Lucia on Friday. De Kock slammed a 38-ball 65-run knock studded with four sixes and as many fours to power South Africa to 163 for six in 20 overs. In reply, England were restricted to 156/6, despite Harry Brooks's 37-ball 53.
England vs Australia Live Updates, T20 World Cup Super Eight: If their authoritative win against the West Indies is a sign, England batters seemed to have found their cloak of invincibility at the right time and they will eye an encore against a formidable South African bowling unit in a Group-2 match of the T20 World Cup Super Eight on Friday. England were at their menacing best against the Windies, while handing them a crushing eight-wicket defeat here that has also fired them to the top of the group through a better Net Run Rate -- +1.34 against SA's +0.90. That the winner here will have their one foot in the semifinals of this ICC showpiece will come as an additional motivation. South Africa, on the other hand, suffered a scare from the USA before they squeezed out an 18-run win in their Super Eight opener. (Live Scorecard | Points Table)
England vs West Indies Highlights, T20 World Cup 2024: Phil Salt's magical knock propelled England to a massive eight-wicket win over West Indies in their Super 8 match of the T20 World Cup 2024. Chasing 181, England got a promising start as Salt and Jos Buttler stitched a good partnership. Even after Buttler;s dismissal for 25, Salt continued the carnage and took England home in 17.3 overs. Salt scored an unbeaten 87 off 47 balls. Apart from him, Jonny Bairstow also contributed with 48* off 26 balls. For West Indies, Andre Russell and Roston Chase scalped one wicket each. Earlier, Nicholas Pooran and Johnson Charles' partnership helped West Indies post 180/4. (Scorecard | Points Table)
Reece Topley assumed new ball duties on his return to the England side after missing the first two group matches at the T20 World Cup but the left-arm seamer says he can also be a strong death-bowling option for the defending champions.
Namibia vs England Live Updates, T20 World Cup: Heavy rain has delayed the toss for England's crucial game against Namibia at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, Antigua on Saturday. This is a must-win game for defending champions England. They are at the third spot in the Group B points table with three points from as many games. They need to beat Namibia to stay alive in the Super Eight race. If England win this game, they will be needing Scotland, who have 5 points, to lose their final group game which is against Australia. In such a case, England will advance to the next stage as they have a better net run rate than Scotland. It is worth noting that if the Namibia vs England game is washed out, Scotland will enter the Super Eight. (Live Scorecard | Points Table)
