Pakistan pace bowler Haris Rauf continued to impress in the Big Bash League (BBL) as he took a hat-trick in the Melbourne Stars’ match against the Sydney Thunder.

Rauf accomplished the incredible feat in the last over of the Thunder’s innings as he dismissed Matthew Gilkes, captain Callum Ferguson and Daniel Sams.

As a result, he finished with figures of 3-23 off his four overs and received the Man of the Match award after the Stars won by six wickets.

An iconic BBL moment.

This is the latest chapter in Rauf’s dream run in the BBL.

In his BBL debut against the Brisbane Heat, which the Stars won by 22 runs, Rauf took figures of 2-20 off his four overs, which included a wicket off his very first ball.
