It was also her first over and when six balls had been delivered the 15-year-old had 3-0 including the hat-trick.
Her father Dean said she could barely believe it.
“Maddison has played rep cricket for the North East Knights, Riverina and had played for Belvoir up until this summer,” he said.

Jayden Vescio also took a hat-trick in Wangaratta District first grade for City Colts.
