Description:
Striking early for England in its must-win clash with the United States of America (USA) on Sunday, pacer Reece Topley removed Andries Gous in the first over after Jos Buttler won the toss and opted to bowl at the Kensington Oval. Completing 50 wickets in the shortest format before the end of the powerplay, all-rounder Sam Curran got the better of Steven Taylor (12) as USA reached 48-2 after six overs. England made one lineup change as Chris Jordan replaced Mark Wood.<br/>Turning the USA innings into a low-scoring affair in Barbados, spinners Adil Rashid and Liam Livingstone managed to keep things airtight for the US batters after the powerplay. Rashid, who bagged the crucial wickets of Nitish Kumar (30) and Aaron Jones (10), was eventually overshadowed by Jordan as the pacer bowled a game-changing over. Jordan bagged a stunning hat-trick in the 19th over as USA folded for 115. Without leaking a single run, Jordan picked up four wickets in his final over!<br/><br/>Remember when Buttler smashed 80 off 49 balls and Alex Hales played an explosive knock of 86 (47) to break a billion Indian hearts at the T20 World Cup in 2022? Showcasing their batting pyrotechnics at the grandest stage, Buttler's men romped past Rohit Sharma’s Team India in the semi-finals at the time. On Sunday, England replicated the same batting performance against the United States of America (USA) to enter the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup.<br/><br/>Buttler's men recorded a massive 10-wicket win over the USA in their crucial Super 8 fixture of the ICC event. Smashing five sixes in Harmeet Singh's ninth over, skipper Buttler remained unbeaten on 83 off 38 balls while Philip Salt chipped in with 21-ball 25 to help England thrash the USA by 10 wickets. With the flawless win over the T20 World Cup co-hosts, England have become the first team to enter the semi-finals of the ICC stage. Spin wizard Adil Rashid was named the Player of the Match for his bowling heroics against the USA.
