Lockie Ferguson's Hat-trick Powers New Zealand To Five-run Victory Over Sri Lanka In Low-scoring Thriller
With Sri Lanka: Lockie Ferguson's sensational hat-trick helped New Zealand defend a modest total of 108 in the second T20I against Sri Lanka in Dambulla, marking a dramatic turnaround in a match that had initially looked to be slipping away from the Kiwis.
The fast bowler’s stunning performance also saw him join an exclusive list of New Zealand cricketers who have claimed a T20I hat-trick.
New Zealand’s innings struggled from the outset, as they were stifled by a superb bowling effort from Sri Lanka. Wanindu Hasaranga was the standout, picking up four wickets, while Matheesha Pathirana and Nuwan Thushara also made key contributions. This relentless pressure reduced New Zealand to a challenging total of just 108/10, setting Sri Lanka up with a seemingly manageable target.
