HAPPY MOMENT

New Zealand pacer Trent Boult registered the second hattrick in the 2019 World Cup, the left-arm seamer achieving the feat against Australia yesterday. The 29-year-old displayed some world class death-over bowling and showed off the full array from his arsenal of effective yorkers. It was the third ball of the 50th over of the Australian innings when he first bowled Usman Khawaja with a yorker down the leg side. He then removed Mitchell Starc with even an better directed yorker, similar to his famous yorker to dismiss English all-rounder Ben Stokes in the current World Cup. He then trapped Jason Behrendorff in front to complete his second hattrick in fifty over cricket. Boult is the only New Zealand bowler to register two hattricks in ODIs. The only other Kiwi pacer to have scalped a hattrick in fifty-over cricket is Danny Morrison.
