[WATCH]- Pat Cummins Equals Bret Lee’s Record With A Hat-Trick Against Bangladesh

Pat Cummins is the second Australian bowler to have scored a hat-trick in the history of the T20 World Cup while only following one player.

The first person to take three wickets in a T20 tournament match was a legendary cricketer from Australia known as Brett Lee. Interestingly, both bowlers from Australia got hat-tricks when they played against Bangladesh.

Pat Cummins, the hat-trick hero of Australia, stated that, before the achievement was displayed on television, he was unaware that he had accomplished the feat against Bangladesh in Antigua on June 21.

Reentering the squad after a break, Cummins looked sharp as he became the second Australian bowler to get a hat-trick in a T20 World Cup, following the great Brett Lee.

“I had no idea (on the hat trick), then saw when it came up on the screen. Set batter in, playing the innings, you never know how it’ll go about, so that was a big wicket (on Hridoy’s wicket) and happy to have restricted them,” Cummins, at the post-match presentation.
