Hat tricks
The
hat-trick is a word of cricket that has found accommodation in many other
sports and that consists of eliminating three batters in three consecutive
balls. The manner in which the elimination occurs, for example, by directly
knocking down your wicket or catching the ball without a boat, is irrelevant.
If you see a
game it seems impossible to happen but in the World Cup it has happened seven

was made to pray and occurred in the fourth edition of the championship, on
October 31, 1987 in Nagpur (India) when the Indian Chetan Sharma eliminated
three New Zealanders knocking down their wicket to all of them (only case in
history).
In 1999 it was obtained by the Pakistani Saqlain
Mushtaq. In 2003 there were two cases thanks to Celeste Chaminda Vaas and

the following shot to his hat-trick eliminated another South African batter.
And in the last World Cup, in 2011, the Barbadian Kemar Roach (playing with the
West Indies) and, again, Lasith Malinga
