Where did America go wrong? Read the turning point of the USA vs ENG match
America’s batting was very poor. Nitish Kumar scored the highest 30 runs for USA and Corey Anderson scored 29 runs. At the same time, only five batsmen of America could touch the double digit mark.
Let us tell you that, by the end of 14 overs, America had lost five wickets for 88 runs. Half the team had returned to the pavilion, however, they could have tried to take the scoreboard to the target of 140 runs from here. This is because a good partnership was developing between Corey Anderson and Harmeet Singh for the sixth wicket.
But Sam Curran gave the 6th blow to America by dismissing Harmeet and broke the good partnership. As soon as Harmeet was out, America’s innings fell apart like a pack of cards.
After that, Chris Jordan dismissed Corey Anderson, Ali Khan, Nosathush Kenjige and Saurabh Netravalkar in the 19th over. Jordan, who came to bowl the 19th over, took four wickets in five balls and bowled out the USA cheaply. He took a hat-trick against the USA in this tournament and with this he became the first bowler to take a hat-trick for England in the T20 World Cup.
