Malinga hat-trick

Sri Lankan slingshot Lasith Malinga became the first man to claim two World Cup hat-tricks on Tuesday with a sensational destruction of hapless Kenya, comfortably the tournament's worst team.

The 27-year-old, who took four wickets in four balls against South Africa in the 2007 edition, finished with a career best 6-38 as Kenya was bowled out for 142, struggling under a barrage of trademark Malinga toe-crushers.

Opener Upal Tharanga then hit an unbeaten 67 as Sri Lanka raced to a nine-wicket win with more than 31 overs to spare.
