It’s been a great show by some players at the ongoing 2021/22 Abu Dhabi T10 League. While it’s primarily a batsman’s game, the bowlers have been good enough to get hattricks and even 5-wicket hauls in this tournament, though they’re only allowed to bowl 2 overs in a game. Ridiculous!! Today, we’re going to talk about yet another brilliant bowling performance witnessed yesterday…
It was Match 30 of the tournament and crowd favourites Team Abu Dhabi was taking on Delhi Bulls, and the latter put up a strong total of 135/5 after their quota of 10 overs. When they came out to bowl, Bulls would’ve been slightly worried because TAD has some of the biggest hitters in their batting lineup. However, England’s Adil Rashid was thrown the ball and the rest was history.

People often refer to him as one of the best white ball spinners in the world today but he hasn’t had too much exposure in such franchise leagues across the world. Last night, we went on to pick up three wickets in three consecutive balls and picked up a T10 hattrick, becoming the sixth bowler in the history of the league to do so. Just a few days ago, Oshane Thomas also achieved this feat.
Shahid Afridi, Aamer Yamin, Pravin Tambe, Wayne Parnell and Thomas got to this milestone before Rashid did. He ended with figures of 3/15 in his 2 overs and saw his side to a 49-run victory. However, he wasn’t awarded the man of the match award because in their batting innings, Rahmanullah Gurbaz hit his third fifty of the season, ending with 69(29). See our list of all Abu Dhabi T10 hat-tricks.
In his hattrick, Rashid picked up the important wickets of captain Liam Livingstone, Colin Ingram and Jamie Overton. For more cricket and other sporting news from around the world, stay tuned to ReadScoops.com…
