Muzaffarabad Tigers’ pacer Mohammad Wasim Jnr bagged a hat-trick, against Rawalakot Hawks, in the ongoing Kashmir Premier League (KPL) on Monday.
In the second game of the day, the Hawks had won the toss and decided to bat first but they were soon made to regret that decision as Wasim wreaked havoc in his very first over.
Wasim first removed opener Bismillah Khan, followed by Kashif Ali and finally completed his hat-trick by sending Umar Amin packing.
The right armer made his T20I debut during the recently concluded series against West Indies.
Here is how the action unfolded:
