The correct answer is

Cricket

The term 'hat-trick' originated in cricket, where it means a bowler taking three wickets on three consecutive deliveries.

It dates back to 1858, when English bowler H. H. Stephenson took three wickets in three balls and was presented with a hat bought from a collection made in his honour.

The expression was later borrowed by other games, such as football and hockey, for three goals by one player in a match, but its origin lies in cricket.

Hence, Cricket.
