Pacer Chris Jordan grabbed a sensational hat-trick in his birthplace as England stormed into the semifinals of the T20 World Cup with a 10-wicket thrashing of USA on Sunday. Jordan, making a comeback in place of Mark Wood, secured four wickets in five balls during the 19th over, restricting the Americans to a total of 115.

England's captain Jos Buttler then led the chase with a dazzling 83 not out from just 38 balls, ensuring victory in a mere 9.4 overs. Buttler's innings included seven massive sixes and six fours, with five maximums hit in a single over bowled by Harmeet Singh.

Earlier, Jordan's 4/10 was complemented by Sam Curran's pivotal spell of 2/13 that initiated the collapse of the American side. Adil Rashid's economical 2/13 and timely dismissals further strengthened England's dominance throughout the match.
