His knock helped his team to reach the 147-run mark after 100 balls for eight wickets. In reply, WF managed to score just 145 runs and lost the game by just two runs.

After winning the Player of the Match award, Jordan said: "I think I tweaked the calf. That's part of parcel of life. Really happy I got the job done. I tried to take it as deep as possible. I obviously got on a roll and then just kept it going. The key was just commitment, really. The crowd here is always amazing. Once they got going, I just tried to keep entertaining them. I thought the boys bowled really well. Everyone played a role and stepped up."
