With the 𒈔Thunder near the end of their innings and looking to score few quick runs, Rauf dismissed Matt Gilkes, ℱCallum Ferguson and Daniel Sams in consecutive deliveries.
Rauf finished with figures of♊ 3/23 off his four ov🔯ers as Stars restricted Thunder to 145-5 in their stipulated 20 overs.
An iconic BBL moment.
Enjoy Haris Rauf's hat-trick!
