Watch: Hat-trick hero Pat Cummins destroys Bangladesh in T20 World Cup 2024
[ad_1]
Australia fast bowler Pat Cummins was in stellar form, picking up a hat-trick against Bangladesh in the T20 World Cup 2024. Playing at Antigua on Friday, June 21, Cummins rocked the Bangladesh batting line-up late in the innings with the T20 World Cup 2024’s first hat-trick. Cummins matched Brett Lee, to become just the second Australian player to achieve this feat in the T20 format of the ICC tournament.
After starting poorly with the ball, giving away 12 runs in his first over, Cummins struck back hard, using the conditions well late in the innings. The fast bowler removed Mahmudullah and Mahedi Hasan in the final two balls of the 18th over and then dismissed Towhid Hridoy in the first ball of the final over of Australia’s bowling innings.

Pat Cummins has been climbing in stature rapidly since his ascendency to Australian captain in the Test and ODI formats of the game. Cummins won the World Test Championship and ODI World Cup as a captain by beating India. He did not take up the captaincy in the T20I format but continued as a player. Cummins’ hat-trick will be a great sign for Australia who are looking to cover all bases as they enter the latter stages of the tournament.
