ICC T20 World Cup 2024: Australia had a wonderful start to their Super 8 campaign against Bangladesh in Antigua as they dismantled Bangladesh for 140/8 in 20 overs courtesy of Pat Cummins.

A sensational hattrick by Cummins in the 18th over stopped Bangladesh to finish the inning on a high note. The ODI World Cup-winning captain has been on a tear for the past few years now.

He found a new role for himself in IPL 2024 where he used to dismantle opposition in the middle overs. He was doing that here again and became the second Australian bowler to take a hat trick in the T20i World Cup.
