In Pics: Bowlers with most ODI hat-tricks

Pakistan’s Wasim Akram was the first ever bowler to claim more than one hat-trick in ODIs. His first hat-trick was against the West Indies in Sharjah 1989, when he dismissed Jeff Dujon, Malcolm Marshall and Curtly Ambrose, clean bowling all three and helped Pakistan to a 11-run win. Just six months later, Wasim would do it again, this team against Australia. He finished things off by bowling Merv Hughes, Carl Rackemann and Terry Alderman with consecutive deliveries.
