Hit wicket in World cup games

Ireland seems to be on a spree with respect to creating rare events. After Jeremy Bray carried his bat earlier in the day, Vusi Sibanda of Zimbabwe was dismissed hit wicket by White. While there have been several instances of people carrying their bats in World cup games (see list below), I wonder if anyone else has been dismissed hit wicket in a world cup game before.

List of people who carried their bat in World cup games:

Ridley Jacobs did it in 1999 against Aussies.
Geoff MArsh did it in India in 1987.
And apparently Turner did it on the same day as Gavaskar's painful 36 against England.
Maraj of Canada and Atapattu of SL achieved the feat in the 2003 world cup in South Africa.
Not sure if I have missed any more.
