Pat Cummins made history in the Australia vs Bangladesh Super 8 match at the T20 World Cup. He became only the second Australian bowler to claim a hat-trick in the tournament’s history, following in the footsteps of Brett Lee who achieved the feat in 2007.
The drama unfolded in the 17th over when Cummins dismissed Mahmudullah with a slower delivery that clipped the inside edge and hit the stumps. He then caught Mahedi Hasan off guard with a full-paced ball, resulting in a catch at third man.
The tension peaked as Cummins started the 19th over, needing one more wicket to complete his hat-trick. Towhid Hridoy attempted a scoop shot but miscalculated, sending the ball straight to Josh Hazlewood at short fine-leg.
Cummins’ celebration erupted as he realized his incredible achievement. This rare feat adds another impressive chapter to his cricketing career and cements his place among Australia’s bowling greats.
The hat-trick not only showcased Cummins’ exceptional skills but also highlighted Australia’s dominance in the match. It’s moments like these that make the T20 World Cup such an exciting event for cricket fans around the globe.
