Lockie Ferguson's Hat-Trick Leads New Zealand to Epic T20 Win

New Zealand's cricket team experienced a significant win against Sri Lanka as Lockie Ferguson's hat-trick played a pivotal role in defending a total of 108. The match, held in Dambulla, ended in a draw for the series.

Despite facing a series-disadvancing four-wicket loss the previous day, the Black Caps managed a modest score with Sri Lanka's Wanindu Hasaranga taking 4-17, despite battling injury.

Ferguson dismissed three players consecutively to achieve a hat-trick, only the sixth by a New Zealander in T20 history, contributing to an impressive five-run victory for an inexperienced squad.
