Watch: Rashid Khan Takes Hat-Trick Against Jamaica Tallawahs
Afghanistan star Rashid Khan wreaked havoc with the ball, taking a sensational hat-trick as Guyana Amazon Warriors thrashed defending Jamaica Tallawahs in the Caribbean Premier League eliminator.
Tallawahs were looking primed to post a huge total after racing away to 116 for 4 in 14 overs. However, the match turned on its head when Rayad Emrit called Rashid for his second spell. The move paid rick dividends as the leg-spinner took wickets on his first three balls and impressively all were bowled as he left the Tallawahs reeling at 118 for 7 at the end of his over.
This is how Rashid picked up his first career hat-trick:
14.1: Rashid to Andre McCarthy, out!
The first of the three wickets came with a googly when McCarthy completely failed to read the delivery. The right-handed batsman went for a drive against the turn and paid the price for it.

The Tallawahs’ innings was totally derailed and they were struggling to even reach the 150-run mark but captain Kumar Sangakkara held firm from the other and played an unbeaten knock of 57 off 38 to propel the team to 168 for 8 in the allotted 20 overs. In reply, the Warriors, led by Luke Ronchi’s 33-ball 70 runs knock, chased down the total inside 18 overs.
