Duminy: 'Hat-trick felt incredible'

South Africa's JP Duminy has admitted that taking a hat-trick in his side's World Cup quarter-final win against Sri Lanka felt "incredible".

The 30-year-old impressed with the ball as the Proteas stormed to a nine-wicket victory at the Sydney Cricket Ground today.

"I think I was probably the only one of the team that knew I had taken a hat-trick," Duminy told the BBC's Test Match Special. "I hadn't come close taking one before in any type of cricket, so to do it in a World Cup quarter-final was incredible."

Quinton de Kock top-scored with an unbeaten 78 as South Africa reached their target of 134 runs inside 18 overs.
