England have secured their place in the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup after brushing aside the USA with ease in Barbados.
England beat the USA with brutal efficiency to guarantee themselves a place in the T20 World Cup semi-finals. England were set a target of 116 after winning the toss and bowling first, dismissing their opponents for just 115. They did that in rapid time, winning by 10 wickets as captain Jos Buttler dominated with bat in hand, scoring an unbeaten 83 off 38 balls as England needed just 9.4 overs to reach 117-0 and secure victory.
Milind Kumar pulled a ball from Liam Livingstone high into the air which Buttler had plenty of time to position himself under to take the catch with the gloves. American wickets soon began to tumble thick and fast. Harmeet Singh was dropped twice, before Curran's bowling saw him caught by Jordan. That left the USA on 115-6 at the start of the 19th over, but they would not score another run as Jordan tore through their tail in the next five balls.
