The world's biggest championship, the T20 World Cup, is currently in full swing to reach its final stage. The Super-8 teams are playing for the semi-final ticket. In the 44th match between Australia and Bangladesh, the Kangaroo team finally won by DLS method except for rain. However, a unique record has been made in this match and it is considered a good sign for India that India can win the T20 World Cup for the second time in history this year.
Batting first, Bangladesh set Australia a target of 141 runs to win. It kept raining continuously while Australia was batting. After David Warner's aggressive half-century and 100 runs at the loss of two wickets in 11.2 overs, the rain stopped and the umpires finally declared Australia the winner on the basis of Duckworth-Lewis rule.
History of Pat Cummins and what augurs well for India:
Pat Cummins took the first hat-trick of T20 World Cup 2024 and destroyed Bangladesh's batting. Pat Cummins took a hat-trick in his last two overs. Yes, a hat-trick in two overs. Cummins took the wickets of Mahmudullah and Mehdi Hasan on the last two balls of the 18th over of Bangladesh's innings and completed the hat-trick by dismissing Tauheed Hridaya on the first ball of the 20th over. Against Bangladesh, the Australian bowler conceded 29 runs in 4 overs and took 3 wickets with a hat-trick.
This was the seventh hat-trick in T20 World Cup history. However, the special thing is that Australia's Pat Cummins has become the second bowler to take a hat-trick in the T20 World Cup. Earlier, Brett Lee had taken a hat-trick in the first T20 World Cup in 2007. Coincidentally, India won the T20 World Cup in the same year. The surprising thing is that Brett Lee also took a hat-trick against Bangladesh.
Now in the T20 World Cup 2024, the hat-trick of another Australian bowler against Bangladesh has created such a coincidence for India that this time too, Team India will win the World Cup.
A look at T20 World Cup hat-tricks:
Cummins became the 7th bowler in the world to take a hat-trick in T20 World Cup history. Brett Lee first achieved this feat in 2007. Then in the 2021 T20 World Cup, Ireland's Curtis Kemper, Sri Lanka's Wanindu Hasaranga and South Africa's Kagiso Rabada also took hat-tricks in the 2021 T20 World Cup. In the 2022 T20 World Cup, UAE's Karthik Mepan and Ireland's Josh Little took hat-tricks.
