Explanation

Lasith Malinga took a hat-trick against South Africa in the 2007 World Cup, becoming the first (and only) bowler to achieve this feat in World Cup history. He dismissed Shaun Pollock, Andrew Hall, and Jacques Kallis in four consecutive balls, with the hat-trick completed on the first three balls of the 43rd over. Chaminda Vaas and Brett Lee are excellent fast bowlers but never took a World Cup hat-trick. Glenn McGrath was a great bowler but his World Cup performances didn't include a hat-trick.
