Starc takes hat-trick in Australia World Cup warm-up

Chasing Australia's 7-166 in a match reduced to 23 overs because of rain, the Netherlands chase was initially derailed by Starc, who dismissed three batters for a first-ball duck.

He trapped Max O'Dowd lbw with the fifth ball of the first over and then fired his next delivery through a gap between bat and pad to bowl Wesley Barresi.

After Mitchell Marsh bowled the second over, Starc returned to complete his hat-trick with a perfect yorker to remove Bas de Leede.

Marsh then bowled opener Vikram Singh for nine to reduce the Netherlands to 4-15.

Earlier, Steve Smith had scored 55 off 55 off 42 balls, with Cameron Green (34 off 26), Alex Carey (28 off 25) and Starc all chipping in.
