Hat Trick Wickets in T20 World Cup: Hat-trick is a term used in cricket to mention the event when a bowler takes three wickets with consecutive deliveries.
The consecutive deliveries may be interrupted by an over bowled by another bowler during the inning. But the player should complete three consecutive wicket-taking deliveries in the same match.
