Pat Cummins brilliant hat-trick

Cummins, who has been in stellar form throughout the tournament, completed his hat-trick in two successive over. The hat-trick began with the dismissal of Bangladesh’s middle-order batter Mahmudullah, who was cleaned up by Cummins. The Aussie seamer then trapped all-rounder Mahedi Hasan, who was caught near the off-side boundary by Adam Zampa on the last ball of the 18th over.

Cummins’ hat-trick was completed on the first ball of the last over when Towhid Hridoy, the inform Bangladesh batter, tried to hit the white leather out of the park but got caught at short fine-leg by Josh Hazlewood.

The crowd erupted in applause as Cummins celebrated his feat with his teammates, marking a significant highlight of the first innings. This hat-trick not only bolstered Australia’s position in the game but also underscored Cummins’ prowess as one of the premier fast bowlers in the world.
