Adelaide, Nov 4 (Ians) Ireland’s left-arm pacer Josh Little on Friday took a sensational hat-trick against New Zealand in their Group 1 match in Super 12s of Men’s T20 World Cup at Adelaide Oval, recording just the second instance of completing a feat like this in the ongoing tournament in Australia.
New Zealand were cruising at 174/3 in the 19th over and looked set for crossing 200-plus when Little removed skipper Kane Williamson, James Neesham and Mitchell Santner on successive deliveries to became only the second Ireland bowler to take a hat-trick in T20 World Cups after his team-mate Curtis Campher achieved the feat last year in Abu Dhabi.
After having Williamson pull straight to fielder in the deep to depart for 61, Little’s consecutive lbw decisions in his favour on the final two deliveries of the over, earned him the unlikely achievement.
