Left-arm Little had Kane Williamson caught at deep backward square leg for 61 at Adelaide Oval on Friday, before pinning Jimmy Neesham and Mitchell Santner lbw for ducks.
Ireland is the first side to register two hat tricks at the Men’s T20 World Cup, with Little’s effort following Curtis Campher’s hat trick against the Netherlands during last year’s tournament in the UAE.
Little is also the second man to take a hat-trick at this T20 World Cup, after UAE’s Karthik Meiyappan, who achieved the feat against Sri Lanka last month.
Ireland went on to lose to New Zealand by 35 runs as they could only reply to the Black Caps’ total of 185-6 with a score of 150-9.
