Australian left-arm seamer Mitchell Starc announced himself in the World Cup as he claimed a hat-trick during warm-up fixture against the Netherlands on Saturday, September 30 at Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram. Defending a total of 166/7 in the rain-curtailed 23-over game, Starc struck in the very first over as he trapped the Netherlands’ opener Max O’Dowd in front of the stumps on the fifth ball.
He further breached the defence of Wesley Barresi on the very next ball to send him on his way back to the pavilion for a golden duck. In the second over, he dismantled the stumps of Bas de Leede on the very first ball to complete a hat-trick.
