New Zealand pacer Lockie Ferguson wreaked havoc on Sri Lanka in SL vs NZ 2nd T20I by becoming the fifth Kiwi star to bag a hat-trick in T20Is. The bowler got rid of Kusal Perera, Kusal Mendis and Charath Asalanka to dismantle the Sri Lankan middle-order. New Zealand are defending a low total after managing just 108 runs in the 1st innings.
