Karthik Meiyappan took the fifth hat-trick in T20 World Cup history as the UAE’s campaign finally caught fire in Geelong on Tuesday.

The young UAE leg-spinner dismissed Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Charith Asalanka and Dasun Shanaka in successive deliveries. It was the first time a UAE cricket has taken a T20 international hat trick.

And only Brett Lee, Curtis Campher, Wanindu Hasaranga and Kagiso Rabada have achieved the feat in the short format’s World Cup before.

His heroics came at a vital time for the national team, too, as they try to save their place in the World Cup in Australia. The national team need to beat Sri Lanka if they are to have any chance of advancing to the main stage of the competition.
