Pat Cummins Claims Rare Hat-Trick Vs Bangladesh In Super 8 Match, Says 'I Had No Idea I Was On.....'

Pat Cummins was completely unaware that he had completed the T20 World Cup 2024's first hat trick. It was spread over two overs, and in a high-intensity T20 match, tracking personal milestones can sometimes become a burden. The Australia ODI and Test captain cannot be held accountable for this. Cummins experienced the same thing during the T20 World Cup Super Eight match in Antigua between Bangladesh and Australia.

Pat Cummins Says I Was Unaware Of Hat-Trick

"I couldn't really understand. I didn't realize I was on a full go-around. Cummins stated in the post-match press conference, "I did the previous over, I saw it come up on the screen, and by the time my next over came around I completely forgot about it." In the post-match presentation, Cummins said.

That he has become just the second Australian after the unbelievable Brett Lee to guarantee a T20 World Cup full go-around was known to him when his partner Marcus Stoinos came running in.

Took Wickets Of Mahumudullah and Mahedi

To end Australia's 18th over, Cummins took two quick wickets from Mahmudullah and Mahedi Hasan. On his return, he struck out Towhid Hridoy for 20, completing the tournament's first hat trick.

"In this way, I think Stoinis ran in from the profound, was cheering and I was like, goodness no doubt, disregarded that. Therefore, yes, nice one," he continued.

Pat Cummins's First Hat-Trick For Australia

Additionally, it marked Pat Cummins' first hat trick for Australia.

"In juniors, I had a few hat tricks, but I never played for Australia. I think I got one in fourth grade cricket. What's more, I assume I got one in second 11 when I was 17.

"Also, I think the full go-around ball was comparative. Joe Burns was playing the first ball of the final day.

"Then I tried to bowl a slower ball, but he ducked under it, and it hit the full bail." So yeah, not too dissimilar to the current one," he thought back.

The fast bowler, who has been enjoying a purple patch in international cricket over the past year, finished with figures of 3/29.
