Cricket: Lachie Ferguson has become the 5th Kiwi bowler to claim a T20I hattrick but he had to wait for it, claiming the milestone over two overs and three reviews.
Ferguson bags hattrick after 3 reviews | 01:30Lockie Ferguson unleashed a blistering spell of fast bowling, claiming a hat-trick to power New Zealand to a nail-biting five-run victory over Sri Lanka in the second T20 at Dambulla on Sunday.
His fiery spell silenced the packed crowd in Dambulla, who watched in dismay as the hosts struggled to counter his lethal deliveries. His first breakthrough came when he had Kusal Perera caught behind, and he followed up with a searing yorker that trapped Kamindu Mendis plumb in front. Ferguson shrugged off the praise, saying the win was “a full team effort”. “It spun a lot and, as quicks, we were trying to hold things up from one end -- and glad it all worked for us,” he said.
With just eight runs needed off the final over, Nissanka took on Glenn Phillips, but his shot failed to clear the long-on fielder, ending his valiant 52 off 51 balls, studded with six boundaries.Pakistan end 22-year ODI series drought | 00:51
