Sri Lankan bowler makes cricket history

Sri Lankan paceman Lasith Malinga has become the first player in the history of international cricket to take four wickets in four balls.

He achieved the double hat-trick in this morning's one-wicket loss to South Africa at the World Cup in Guyana.

South Africa reached the victory target of 210 with 10 balls to spare.

Malinga told Fox Sports he had mixed emotions after the match.

"I am feeling bad we have lost the match, but I'm a little bit happy at taking my first hat-trick," he said.

"Always our team is a fighting team, always we try to defend the runs. Always."
