Pakistani pacer Hasnain bowls triple wicket maiden on BBL debut

Pakistani pacer Mohammad Hasnain on Sunday took the triple wicket maiden on her stunning Big Bash League (BBL) debut. 

Mohammad Hasnain registered an impressive outing in his first-ever BBL appearance. He caught the attention of everyone when he took three wickets in his first over on his BBL debut.

The Pakistani pacer, bowling his first over of the match, nipped out Matthew Short, Jake Weatherald and Jonathan Wells to record a triple wicket maiden against the Adelaide Strikers.

The right-arm quick, 21, made an immediate impact for Sydney Thunder by picking up three wickets for no runs in his very first over against Adelaide Strikers.

Hasnain started things off by getting opener Matthew Short caught at the square leg boundary, before trapping Jake Weatherald plumb in front. He capped a stellar start by having Jonathan Wells caught at short mid wicket for his third wicket of his opening over, without a run off the bat.

The Pakistan pacer thus became the first bowler in BBL history to take three wickets in his first over of the competition. He finished with figures of 3-20 as Sydney Thunder registered a 28-run win against the Adelaide Strikers. In all, Hasnain sent down 14 dot balls.

Former Australia fast bowler Brett Lee said Hasnain's spell was “phenomenal".
