Sri Lankan pace spearhead Lasith Malinga took his second career World Cup hat-trick when he collected six wickets as Sri Lanka dismissed Kenya for 142 in their World Cup clash on Tuesday.
Malinga had Tanmay Mishra lbw with the final ball of the 42nd over and then clean-bowled Peter Ongondo and Shem Ngoche with the first two of the 44th. In the same over, he removed Elijah Otieno to have Kenya all out for 142 runs.
The 27-year-old, who took four wickets in four balls against South Africa in the 2007 World Cup, finished with 6-38.
It was the second hat-trick of this World Cup following West Indies Kemar Roach's three-in-three against the Netherlands on Monday.
