Experienced Australia pace bowler Pat Cummins claimed a hat-trick as Australia restricted Bangladesh to 140-8 in their T20 World Cup 2024 Super Eight clash in Antigua on June 20, 8:30 PM local. He picked up the wickets of Mahmudullah, Mahedi Hasan and Towhid Hridoy in consecutive deliveries over two overs as the Australian bowlers’ clinical performance to restrict the Bangladeshis at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound worked for them as well.

However, Cummins came to bowl his 3rd over in the 18th over of the innings. HE at first bowled Mahmudullah with a slower delivery that went outside off, Mahmudullah tried to drag it into the leg-side with a pull but only managed to drag it back onto the stumps off the inside edge and got out for a mere 2 (3)

The next delivery saw the dismissal of Mahedi Hasan, who tried to go for a big shot off a length delivery on the off-stump but he hit it straight to Adam Zampa at third man and got out on a golden duck as well.

However, his third wicket came on the final over when he dismissed Towhid Hridoy. It was a slower length delivery on off-stump, which Hridoy shuffled right across his stumps with a scoop over short fine-leg, but it went straight into the hands of Hazlewood at short fine-leg and he got out for 40 as well. With this, Pat Cummins completed his hat-trick as well.

Notably, Brett Lee was the first Australian bowler who claimed a hat-trick against Bangladesh in Men’s T20 World Cup way back in 2007.
