Delhi: Australia's legendary fast bowler Mitchell Starc has set a big record in the ICC World Cup. In the third match of the Super-8 of the current tournament played against Bangladesh in Antigua on Friday, Starc gave away just 21 runs in his 4 overs and took one wicket. With this wicket, he has become the highest wicket-taker in the history of the World Cup.

In this case, he has surpassed former Sri Lankan legendary pacer Lasith Malinga. Starc has taken 95 wickets in 52 matches so far in ODI and T20 World Cup, out of which he took 65 wickets in ODI World Cup and 30 wickets in T20 World Cup.

Earlier, the record of taking the most wickets was in the name of Malinga, who had taken 94 wickets in 60 World Cup matches. In this case, Bangladesh's legendary all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is at number three with 92 wickets, while New Zealand's dashing pacer Trent Boult is at fourth place with 87 wickets.

Pat Cummins took a hat-trick against Bangladesh

Australian fast bowler Pat Cummins took a brilliant hat-trick in the Super-8 match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 played in Antigua on Friday. The right-handed pacer dismissed Mahmudullah and Mehdi Hasan on the last two balls of the 18th over of Bangladesh's innings and completed his hat-trick by taking the wicket of Tauheed Hridoy on the first ball of the 20th over. Cummins is the second bowler to take a hat-trick for Australia in the T20 World Cup. Earlier, former veteran pacer Brett Lee took a hat-trick against Bangladesh in the first T20 World Cup played in South Africa in 2007.

If we talk about the match, in this rain-affected match, Australia defeated Bangladesh by 28 runs with the help of Duckworth Lewis rule (DLS) and got important points in Super-8.
