Irish fast bowler Joshua Little picked up the second hat-trick of T20 World Cup 2022 when he dismissed Kane Williamson, James Neesham and Mitchell Santner in the 19th over of New Zealand’s innings in Adelaide on Friday.
Little becomes just the sixth bowler to pick up a hat-trick in a men’s T20 World Cup game. Little finished with figures of 3 for 22. Little is the second Irishman after Curtis Campher to take a T20 World Cup hat-trick. In 2021, Campher became only the third man to claim four wickets in four balls in T20 internationals when he led Ireland to a seven-wicket victory over the Netherlands in the T20 World Cup.
