First Pakistani to Take a T20I Hat-Trick — October 2017
On 27 October 2017 against Sri Lanka in Abu Dhabi, Faheem Ashraf dismissed Isuru Udana, Mahela Udawatte, and Dasun Shanaka on three consecutive deliveries. It was Pakistan’s first-ever hat-trick in T20 International cricket — and only the 6th in T20I history at the time, after Brett Lee, Jacob Oram, Tim Southee, Thisara Perera, and Samuel Badree. He finished the over with figures of 3/16 and helped seal the match for Pakistan. A record that still stands proudly against his name in the cricket records books.

Pakistan needed 29 runs off the final two overs. Faheem walked in at number eight and hit 29 off just 11 balls — including a boundary in the final over that sealed the win. Cool head, big hitting, exactly the kind of innings that defines a lower-order finisher in T20 cricket. He walked away with the Player of the Match award and made it one of Pakistan’s most memorable T20 World Cup finishes.
