England sealed its spot in the semifinals of the T20 World Cup 2024 with a 10-wicket drubbing of USA in the Super Eight in Barbados on Sunday.

Jos Buttler and Phil Salt made little work of the 116-run target, completing the chase inside 10 overs.

Earlier in the innings, Chris Jordan registered a hat-trick and four wickets in the space of five deliveries, in the 19th over, to cap off a perfect bowling performance for the defending champion.

Jordan ended at 4/10 while Sam Curran and Adil Rashid picked two wickets each to bundle out USA for 115 runs.
