Watch: Mitchell Starc creates history with two hat-tricks in same match
Australia's Mitchell Starc has created history by taking two hat-tricks in the same game.
The Australian paceman took the last three wickets of each innings, finishing with seven in total, as his New South Wales side beat Western Australia by 171 runs.
The 27-year-old becomes the first bowler to complete the feat in the same Shield match and is only the eighth player to do it in a first-class game.
