A Triple Strike of Genius
Shadab Khan's hat-trick was a display of classic leg-spin bowling, outfoxing three key batters in consecutive deliveries. The victims of his brilliance were:
- Shimron Hetmyer: Caught out after failing to get going.
- Mehidy Hasan Miraz: Trapped LBW by a perfectly flighted delivery.
- Quentin Sampson: Bowled through the gate by a deceptive googlie, sparking wild celebrations among the Falcons.
This marked the third-ever hat-trick in the history of the Caribbean Premier League, but a first for the talented Pakistani all-rounder in the tournament.
