On August 22, 2011, Lasith Malinga made history at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo by becoming the first bowler to take three hat-tricks in One Day International (ODI) cricket.

This feat occurred during the 5th and final ODI of Australia's tour of Sri Lanka. While Australia had already secured the series (leading 3–1), Malinga’s burst ensured a consolation victory for the hosts.

Australia were well placed in their chase before Malinga changed the course of the match with a lethal over of toe-crushing yorkers and sheer pace.
