England's commanding 10-wicket win against the USA in Bridgetown showcased several remarkable stats and records:
Chris Jordan's Hat-Trick Milestone
Chris Jordan became the first England bowler to achieve a hat-trick in T20 Internationals. This feat marks the ninth hat-trick in T20 World Cup history and the third in just four days of this tournament, following Pat Cummins' hat-tricks against Bangladesh in North Sound and Afghanistan in Kingstown.
Record-Breaking Over by Jordan
Jordan became the second bowler in T20 World Cup history to take four wickets in a single over. Curtis Campher was the first to achieve this when he dismissed four Netherlands batters in consecutive balls during the 2021 edition in Abu Dhabi.
USA’s Dramatic Collapse
The USA's innings crumbled from 115/5 to 115 all out within just six deliveries. This marks the third occurrence in T20 International history where a team has lost five or more wickets without adding to their score. Previous instances include Australia’s collapse from 191/5 to 191 all out against Pakistan in the 2010 World Cup in Gros Islet and Mali’s fall from 8/1 to 8/6 against Kenya in Kigali in 2022.
Jordan’s Exceptional Bowling Figures
Jordan’s bowling figures of 4/10 are the third-best for an England bowler in T20 World Cups. Sam Curran holds the top spot with his 5/10 against Afghanistan in Perth in 2022, followed by Adil Rashid's 4/2 against the West Indies in Dubai in 2021.
Harmeet Singh’s Costly Over
32 runs conceded by Harmeet Singh in a single over ranks as the fourth-most expensive in T20 World Cup history. This tournament alone has witnessed three of the top four most expensive overs. Jos Buttler’s five sixes in that over are the second-most in a T20 World Cup over, only behind Yuvraj Singh’s record of six sixes off Stuart Broad in Durban in 2007.
England’s Sixth 10-Wicket Triumph
England’s 10-wicket victory over the USA is their second such win in T20 World Cups, the first being against India in the semi-finals of the 2022 edition in Adelaide. With 62 balls remaining, this victory is the largest by balls remaining among all six 10-wicket wins in T20 World Cup history.
Buttler’s Record-Equalling Sixes
Jos Buttler’s seven sixes in the match tied him with Alex Hales for the most by an England batter in a T20 World Cup match, matching Hales' performance against India in Adelaide in 2022. Buttler has now moved to second place in the all-time list for most sixes in T20 World Cups, surpassing David Warner and Rohit Sharma’s 40 sixes, and trailing only Chris Gayle’s record of 63.
Buttler and Salt’s Prolific Partnership
The partnership between Jos Buttler and Phil Salt produced their third century stand in just 15 innings in T20 Internationals, making them the most prolific England pair for any wicket. Remarkably, all three 100+ partnerships have been achieved in the West Indies.
These highlights underscore the dominance and record-breaking performances by England in their convincing victory over the USA.
