Adelaide: New Zealand set a target of 186 runs ahead of Ireland in the crucial match. When New Zealand lost the toss and went into bat, trying to score runs in the last overs, Irish pacer Joshua Little took the reins by completing a hat-trick.
This is Australia’s second hat-trick in the Twenty20 World Cup. Daryl Mitchell took a single off the first ball in the 19th over of the New Zealand innings. But on the second ball, Josh Little returned captain Kane Williamson, who was trailing his half-century.
Williamson returned with 61 runs off 35 balls with 5 fours and three sixes. Neesham golden duck in the next delivery. Josh Little also trapped Mitchell Santner in front of the wicket with a hat-trick.
Moment to savour for Josh Little who announced himself last year at the T20 World Cup to a wider audience. And now, has shown that his good reviews were not misplaced! #Hat-trick

Josh took 3 wickets by conceding only 22 runs in 4 overs. If Ireland chase and win against New Zealand, the Kiwis will miss the semis. Ireland made it to the group stage of the Twenty20 World Cup by knocking out the West Indies.
Ireland is the only team in the Men’s T20 World Cup history that has produced two hat-tricks. Josh Little today and Curtis Campher in 2021.
