Karim Janat’s Hat-Trick Goes in Vain As Bangladesh Secure Nervy Two-Wicket Win Over Afghanistan in 1st T20I 2023, Lead Series 1–0
The Afghanistan bowler brought his side back into the game and almost got them the victory had Shoriful Islam not hit a four off the last ball. Afghanistan had batted first and scored 154/7.
Karim Janat stole the show with a sensational hat-trick in the last over of the match, but his effort went in vain as Bangladesh beat Afghanistan by just two wickets in the 1st T20I of the series on July 14. The right-arm medium pace bowler dismissed Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taskin Ahmed and Nasum Ahmed off consecutive deliveries in the last over of the match to help Afghanistan keep hopes of a win. But Shoriful Islam ended up hitting a boundary off the last ball to help the home side get the win and the series lead.
