Pat Cummins Wins the First Hat-Trick in the T20 World Cup 2024

Pat Cummins, an Australian fast bowler, stole the show in the Super Eight match of the T20 World Cup 2024 in Antigua, smashing a hat-trick against Bangladesh. It was the seventh hat-trick in the history of the World Cup overall and the first of this one.

In the Men's T20 World Cup, Cummins became the second Australian to accomplish this feat, following Brett Lee.

The other bowlers to complete hat-tricks at the event were Josh Little, Karthik Meiyappan, Kagiso Rabada, Wanindu Hasaranga, and Curtis Campher (who took four in four balls).

But Cummins later acknowledged that he had overlooked the opportunity for a hat-trick. "I didn't know I was on a hat-trick," he stated.

"I completed the previous over, watched it appear on the screen, and had completely forgotten about it by the time the next over rolled around. Imagine that everyone is like, "Oh yeah," as Stoinis came in from the deep and started cheering. So, nice one."
