    Randell first bowled Henry Cooper on the last ball of his second over. In his next over, he dismissed former New Zealand Test opener Jeet Raval. He then claimed a hat-trick with Joe Carter caught behind. His fourth wicket camw when Robert O'Donnell edged Randell's outswinger to Curtis Heaphy in the slips.
