The stretch of form belies Jones’s career T20I strike rate that sat at just 105.79 before the tournament began, though the 29-year-old suggests the figure is a red herring, having been forced to play in different ways, dictated by match situations.

“I like to play the situation. I like to play for my team always.

“If it’s the case I’m playing a game and we need five runs an over, I’ll bat to suit. If we need 15 runs or over, I’ll bat to suit.

“I don’t really worry about the whole talk about strike rate and all that other stuff.”

A contingent of travelling American fans is expected, but for the fans back home, new and old, Jones hears their support in the Caribbean as they continue their dream run.

“Over the last few years, we’ve been talking about growing a bigger following as it relates to US cricket and I think it’s growing slowly right now so we definitely thank them for sure.

“Just keep supporting us, keep following us, keep watching our games and we’ll definitely put on a good show for everybody for sure.”
