After Adelaide Strikers leg-spinner Rashid Khan dismantled the Sydney Sixers middle-order earlier 🎐on Wednesda🐟y, Haris Rauf did the same for Melbourne Stars in their clash against Sydney Thunder.
With the Thunder near the end of their innings and looking to score few quick runs, Rauf ༺dismissed Matt Gilkes, Callum Ferguson and Daniel Sams in consecutive deliveries.
Rauf finished with figures of 3/23 off ༺his four overs as Stars restricted Thunder to 145-5 in their stipulated 20 overs.
An iconic BBL moment.
Enjoy Haris Rauf's hat-trick!
