Fans will find out the entire list of hat-tricks in T20 World Cup here.
Hat-tricks in T20 World Cup are a massive feat to achieve and all-rounder Romario Shepherd has entered the elite list of players. He has bagged a five-wicket haul, which included a stunning hat-trick against Scotland, during the West Indies’ ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 opener.
With five wickets in hand, Scotland needed to score 51 runs in the last four overs to chase down the Carribeans’ total of 182. But coming in to bowl his third over of the match, Shepherd ran through the opposition’s batting order, claiming four wickets in five balls, including a hat-trick. Previously, he had also sent back Scotland’s No.3, Brandon McMullen, in his first over of the evening.
This fierce show, coupled with a three-wicket haul from the former captain Jason Holder, saw the Islanders bundle out Richie Berrington & Co. 35 runs short of the target. Notably, this is Shepherd’s second hat-trick in the T20Is, following his feat against Bangladesh.

Legendary Australian pacer Brett Lee had claimed the maiden hat-trick of T20 World Cup during the inaugural edition of the event in 2007. Bangladesh were at 103/3 after the 16th over of the first innings. But Lee’s stunning display thrashed their batting line-up as he dismissed Shakib Al Hasan, Mashrafe Mortaza, and Alok Kapali in three consecutive deliveries. Eventually, Australia had easily won the fixture after restricting the side to only 123 runs.
The Irish all-rounder achieved an unique feat during the T20 World Cup 2021. He had snared four successive wickets in as many balls during their match against the Netherlands. The opposition were 80/2 after nine overs before getting struck by Curtis Campher’s mayhem. Ultimately, they could manage only 106 runs and lost the encounter against Ireland.
Another all-rounder in the list of hat-tricks in T20 World Cup is Sri Lanka’s Wanindu Hasaranga. The spin wizard had achieved the feat against South Africa. After dismissing Aiden Markram in the final delivery of the 15th over, he once again struck in the first two balls of the 18th over to send back Dwaine Pretorius and Temba Bavuma. However, the scintillating show proved to come in a losing cause as the Proteas won the game by four wickets.
The South African pace spearhead Kagiso Rabada had also joined the chart of hat-tricks in T20 World Cup in 2021. Notably, England needed 14 runs off the last over with five wickets in hand.

After Brett Lee, the T20 World Cup 2024 had witnessed another Australian seamer bag a hat-trick against Bangladesh.

Bangladesh eventually managed only 140/8, but the Aussies easily claimed the match in the DLS method.
The Test and ODI skipper of Australia claimed another hat-trick in the same edition to register his name once again in the chart of hat-tricks in T20 World Cup.
