The 33-year-old pacer struck with his very first ball to remove Papua New Guinea captain Assad Valada for 6 (16), and tied up the new batter to open his spell with a maiden in the powerplay.
And he was understandably kept on to bowl the first over after the powerplay, once again keeping things tight with an excellent maiden.
He returned to the attack for the 12th over and picked up the wicket of Charles Amini 17 (25), and finished with his third wicket-maiden with the 14th over of the innings, cleaning up Chad Soper for 1(6).
There were celebrations and handshakes for Ferguson when he fielded the sixth ball of his fourth over off his own bowling to finish with four consecutive maidens and complete his historic achievement.
