Historical Context and Match Details
Pat Cummins joined an elite list of bowlers who have taken hat-tricks in the T20 World Cup, a group that includes Brett Lee, Curtis Campher, Wanindu Hasaranga, Kagiso Rabada, Karthik Meiyappan, and Joshua Little. He also became the fourth Australian to achieve this milestone, following Brett Lee, Ashton Agar, and Nathan Ellis.
Bangladesh’s innings, despite the early breakthroughs, managed to reach 140 runs largely due to contributions from their middle order. However, the hat-trick by Cummins, along with Adam Zampa’s economical bowling (2 wickets for 24 runs in 4 overs), kept the scoring in check.
