Full List of Hat-Tricks in T20I Cricket: Pakistan’s spin-bowling all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz excelled with both bat and ball, leading his team to a comfortable win over Afghanistan in the final of the T20I Tri-Series at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah on Sunday.
Nawaz registered a hat-trick and went on to pick a five-wicket haul before scoring 25 with the bat as Pakistan beat Afghanistan by 75 runs. Nawaz became the third Pakistani, after Faheem Ashraf and Mohammad Hasnain, to record a T20I hat-trick.
After winning the toss, Pakistan set Afghanistan a modest target of 142 before the 2024 ICC World Cup semifinalist imploded in the second innings. Only skipper Rashid Khan and opener Sediqullah Atal could manage to hit double-digit scores as Afghanistan were bundled out for just 66, resulting in a thumping win for Pakistan ahead of an all-important Asia Cup tournament.
Nawaz has been a consistent performer for Pakistan, having scored crucial runs down the order while picking important wickets with the ball. Ending with figures of 4-1-19-5, Nawaz became only the fifth Pakistan bowler to take a five-wicket haul in men’s T20Is, and only the third spinner to reach the milestone. He also became the first Pakistan bowler with both a men’s T20I five-for and a hat-trick.
Naming several records on Sunday, Nawaz also became only the fifth cricketer and first Pakistani to score 25 or more and pick five wickets in the same innings.
Australian ace pacer Brett Lee was the first bowler to record a T20I hat-trick against Bangladesh in 2007.
