PSL 2024 | Twitter ablaze as Akeal Hosein tore through Peshawar's batting with explosive hat-trick
Bowlers cherish the opportunity to bowl a magnificent spell, but the thrill escalates even further when it culminates in a brilliant hat-trick. Quetta Gladiator's Akeal Hosein showcased his prowess by dismantling Peshawar's middle order with a stunning hat-trick vs Peshawar Zalmi in Rawalpindi.
On the third delivery of the 16th over, Hosein claimed Peshawarโs Aamer Jamal's wicket with a well-pitched length ball, inducing an edge that Quetta wicketkeeper Laurie Evans promptly snatched. The 30-year-old Trinidadian showcased his bowling prowess yet again in the subsequent delivery, delivering a short ball outside off. Mehran Mumtaz attempted to cut it but ended up dragging the ball onto his stumps off a thick under-edge, sending the bails flying. The atmosphere at the packed Rawalpindi Stadium was electric as Hosein eyed a hat trick.
Right after, the all-rounder delivered a sliding length ball outside off to Luke Wood who attempted to defend, but the spin induced a thick edge. Meanwhile, Riley Rossouw, stationed at first slip, lunged to his right and pulled off a spectacular catch just as the ball seemed beyond his reach. As the wicket fell, the entire Quetta team rushed towards Hosein, who sprinted away in jubilant celebration, acknowledging the momentous achievement.
The Twitterverse was left in awe as Hosein clinched a stunning hat trick, triggering a whirlwind of emotions throughout the stadium.
