    Sri Lanka: Maheesh Theekshana on Wednesday became the seventh bowler from his country to take a hat-trick in one-day international (ODI) cricket. Theekshana's feat came across two overs during the second ODI of the three-match series at Seddon Park.

    In the 35th over, he struck twice in consecutive deliveries, removing New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner and Nathan Smith. The 24-year-old returned in the 37th over to dismiss Matt Henry with the first ball, completing his hat-trick.

    Finishing with figures of 4 for 44 in 8 overs, Theekshana showcased his mastery over spin and control under pressure. His performance marked the first ODI hat-trick by a Sri Lankan bowler in six years, with Dushmantha Madushanka taking a hattrick against Bangladesh in 2018
