Left-arm paceman Trent Boult(29) became only the third bowler from New Zealand to pick up a ODI hat-trick on Wednesday Nov 07,2018
Danny Morrison was the first Kiwi to take an ODI hat-trick. He did it against India in 1994. Meanwhile, Shane Bond did the same in 2007 against Australia. 

 Trent Boult  achieved the feat in the second ODI against Pakistan at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.


Boult dismissed Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam and Mohammad Hafeez in consecutive deliveries in the third over after New Zealand managed 266 for 9 in their 50 overs.

Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam and Mohammad Hafeez became the victims of ODI cricket’s 46th hat-trick.

What Trent Boult achieved against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday – has happened only on 46 occasions in 47 years of ODI cricket

Trent Boult’s hat-trick was the third of the year after Shehan Madushanka (vs Bangladesh at Mirpur) and Imran Tahir (vs Zimbabwe at Bloemfontein)

It was also the third hat-trick in New Zealand’s ODI history after Danny Morrison (vs India at Napier in 1994) and Shane Bond (vs Australia at Hobart in 2007).

Hat-tricks are dominated by fast bowlers with 37 of the 46 hat-tricks accredited to them. Spinners have only accounted for 9. In all, 8 spinners and 33 fast bowlers have taken Hat-tricks.


46 hat-tricks in 4186 ODI matches in history – that is one hat-trick every 91 matches!
