Little of Ireland bags hat-trick against New Zealand

Agency :
Ireland’s pacer Joshua Little became just the second bowler in T20 World Cup 2022 to bag a hat-trick. The left-arm bowler achieved the feat in their match against New Zealand at Adelaide Oval on Friday. UAE leg-spinner Karthik Meiyappan had taken the first hat-trick of the T20 World Cup 2022 against Sri Lanka in the qualifying match.
Joshua Little is just the second Ireland bowler to achieve the feat in the T20 World Cup. Bowling the 19th over Little dismissed New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson for 61 runs followed by wickets of Jimmy Neesham and Mitchell Santner. The pacer finished with figures of 3/22 in 4 overs.
Curtis Campher was the first Ireland bowler to take a hat trick in T20 World Cup. The pacer had picked up four wickets in four consecutive balls against the Netherlands during the 2021 T20 World Cup. He had become just the third bowler in the world to do so in International T20 matches.
Fans took to social media to congratulate the Irish bowlers for his outstanding effort.
