Pat Cummins bagged a hat-trick against Bangladesh in the T20 World Cup Super 8s but remained unaware of his feat until it appeared on the screen.

Pat Cummins etched his name in the history books with a hat-trick performance against Bangladesh in the T20 World Cup Super 8s clash. However, in a surprising turn of events, the Australian pace bowler himself seemed unaware of his achievement until it flashed on the big screen.

Bangladesh’s innings hanged on a knife’s edge after the dismissal of their skipper, Najmul Hossain Shanto. Towhid Hridoy looked determined to counterattack the Australian bowling attack.

Cummins, however, had other plans. In a dramatic turn of events during the death overs, Cummins dismantled the Bangladeshi batting line-up. He started by dismissing Mahmudullah with the penultimate delivery of the 18th over. The very next ball, Mahedi Hasan found himself caught at third man.

The 20th over proved even more decisive. With the first ball, Cummins dismissed the dangerous Hridoy, effectively derailing Bangladesh’s hopes of posting a significant total.

“I had no idea (on the hat trick), then saw when it came up on the screen. Especially Hridoy. He was the set batter in, playing the innings; you never know how it’ll go about, so that was a big wicket, and happy to have restricted them,” Cummins confessed later, receiving his Player of the Match award.

This remarkable feat makes Cummins only the seventh bowler in T20 World Cup history and the second Australian to achieve a hat-trick. Brett Lee holds the distinction of being the first Australian cricketer to achieve this feat, coincidentally against Bangladesh in the 2007 edition of the tournament.

“Few (hat-tricks) in juniors, never for Australia. Agar and Ellis, on the bench, have hat-tricks and joined their club. It’s pretty awesome to tick that off. It’s a good club to be part of,” Cummins concluded.
