All-rounder rounder Shadab Khan hit a last over six to give Pakistan a sensational two-wicket win in the second Twenty20 international against Sri Lanka in Abu Dhabi on Friday.
But it was Faheem Ashraf who swung the match in Pakistan favour, with his sensational bowling. Faheem became the first Pakistan bowler to achieve the glory, when he took the hat-trick in the 19th over of the Sri Lanka innings.
Faheem come on to bowl the 19th over of the innings and his third. After first three balls, Faheem picked his first wicket in the form of Udana. A slower bouncer by Faheem was pulled but Hasan Ali timed his jump to perfection at short fine-leg to take the catch. Udawatte was the second wicket to fall when Faheem bowled a wide ball outside off and the Sri Lankan batsman tried to play it big. He managed to smash it to deep cover where Babar Azam took a catch running towards his left.
Next ball, Shanaka was adjudged leg-bef0re wicket. He tried to slap it across the wicket but was struck on the pads. In his three overs, Faheem gave only 16 runs and picked the three wickets.
