LONDON: Pace spearhead Trent Boult hogged the limelight with a sensational last-over hat-trick to stop Australia’s rebuilding job at 243 for nine in their ICC World Cup match here Sunday.
With his swinging full-pitched deliveries, Boult sent back the well-settled Usman Khawaja (88 off 129 balls), Micthell Starc and Jason Behrendorff, while giving away just two runs at the Lord’s.
Bolt (4/51 in 10 overs) struck after Khawaja and Alex Carey (71 off 72 balls) scored contrasting half-centuries to lift Australia from a disastrous start after they opted to bat. (AGENCIES)
