Bangladesh left-arm pacer Fariha Trisna Tuesday picked up a hat-trick in their second Twenty20 International against Australia at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka as she became the third player in women’s cricket to have two career hat-tricks, but first ever for a Full Member nation.
Fariha took the wickets of Ellyse Perry, Sophie Molineux and Beth Mooney in the last three balls of the 20th over.
She finished with bowling figure of 4-1-19-4 in the match.
Hong Kong's Kary Chan and Uganda's Aweko Numungu are the two other women cricketers who bagged two T20I hat-tricks.
Fariha registered her first hat-trick against Malaysia in 2022 on her debut game.
Overall, this is the third hat-trick for Bangladesh in T20Is with the other one recorded by Fahima Khatun in 2018 against the United Arab Emirates.
Australia scored 161 losing eight wickets in their 20 overs before Bangladesh managed to post 103 for the loss of nine wickets to lose the match by 58 runs and concede the series with one game remaining.
