Pakistan all-rounder Shadab Khan has joined an elite club of T20 bowlers after claiming his second hat-trick in his career during the 2026 Caribbean Premier League (CPL).
Khan's outstanding performance in the Qualifier 1 match saw him dismiss Guyana Amazon Warriors' batsmen in quick succession, contributing to the Falcons' dominant nine-wicket victory.
The match was a turning point for the Amazon Warriors, who were 40/1 after the powerplay but suffered a dramatic collapse, losing eight wickets for just nine runs in 3.1 overs.
Khan's first T20 hat-trick came during the 2024 Lanka Premier League, when he achieved the feat while representing Colombo Strikers against Kandy Falcons.
His latest achievement makes him the second Pakistan bowler to claim multiple T20 hat-tricks, with former pacer Mohammad Sami holding the record with three.
Shadab's performance was part of a combined effort by the Pakistan duo, with Sufiyan Muqeem also claiming eight wickets to completely dismantle the Amazon Warriors' batting lineup.
Muqeem finished with figures of 4/13 from his four overs, while Shamar Springer and Joshua James took one wicket each.
The Falcons made light work of the 77-run target, reaching the total in just 5.2 overs, with Rahkeem Cornwall leading the chase with a blistering 49 off 16 balls.
Evin Lewis remained unbeaten on 23 off 13 deliveries, while Amir Jangoo contributed four off four balls.
