Cummins' Hat-Trick and Zampa's Spin Mastery Propel Australia Over Bangladesh

Premier pacer Pat Cummins achieved the tournament's first hat-trick, and spinner Adam Zampa showcased his skill to lead Australia to a 28-run victory over Bangladesh using the Duckworth Lewis method in the T20 World Cup. David Warner's unbeaten half-century secured the win despite rain interruptions.

In a thrilling turn of events, premier pacer Pat Cummins clinched the tournament's first hat-trick, and spinner Adam Zampa's skillful performance helped fashion Australia's 28-run victory over Bangladesh through the Duckworth Lewis (DLS) method in their T20 World Cup Super Eights fixture.

As Zampa (2/24) operated with surgical precision in the middle overs, Cummins (3/29) claimed three crucial wickets off successive balls at the back end, restricting Bangladesh to 140 for eight. This followed Mitchell Marsh's decision to bowl first in a game that saw rain interruptions.

Veteran opener David Warner then hit an unbeaten 53 off 35 balls as Australia raced ahead. Despite the rain halting play twice, Warner's aggressive half-century, featuring five fours and three sixes, and contributions from Travis Head ensured Australia never looked in trouble, securing a confident win.
