Back-to-back hat-tricks for Pat Cummins 

Pacer Pat Cummins became the first bowler to bag back-to-back hat-tricks in T20Is—against Bangladesh and Afghanistan respectively. Cummins got his hat-trick across over No. 18 and 20 against Bangladesh. On the fifth ball of the 18th over, he clean bowled Mahmudullah. Mahedi Hasan was caught by Adam Zampa at third man off the last ball of the over. The hat-trick ball—first ball of the 20th over—had set batter Towhid Hridoy dismissed for 40 off 28 balls after he scooped one into the hands of Josh Hazlewood at short fine-leg.

In the game against Afghanistan, the Australian Test and ODI World Cup-winning captain dismissed Rashid Khan (Over No. 17.6 ), Karim Janat (19.1) and Gulbadin Naib (19.2) in three consecutive deliveries to complete the feat.
