Australia’s Pat Cummins became the first bowler to pick two T20 World Cup hat-tricks during the Super Eight encounter against Afghanistan at Kingstown, St. Vincent on Sunday.

It was the second hat-trick in as many matches for Cummins who had picked one against Bangladesh in the previous Super Eight encounter.

After dismissing Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan off the last ball of his third over, Cummins returned in the last over of the innings to prise out Karim Janat and Gulbadin Naib of consecutive deliveries.
