Former England one-day captain Adam Hollioake took a hat-trick on Monday to spur the International XI to a six-wicket win over the Asian XI in their Twenty20 Tsunami relief match.
Hollioake marked his return to The Oval, where he was a popular and innovative captain of English county Surrey, with the wickets of Rahul Dravid, Chaminda Vaas and Anil Kumble from successive deliveries.
Former Australia batsman Greg Blewett took the International XI past the Asian team's 157 with 91 not out from 61 balls.
Organisers added more than one million pounds ($1.83 million) to the relief fund for the tsunami, which struck off the Indonesian coast on December 26 last year. Two other cricket fund-raising matches have been staged in Melbourne and at Lord's.
