Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza etched his name into the record books by claiming the first T10 hat-trick of his career during the final match of the African Friendship Series against South Africa. Bowling a sensational over, Raza dismissed Corbin Bosch, Lungi Ngidi, and Nandre Burger with three consecutive deliveries, producing a remarkable late turnaround after South Africa’s explosive start.
Raza finished with outstanding figures of 4 wickets for 10 runs in just one over, restricting South Africa to 196/9 after they had looked set for a much bigger total. Although Zimbabwe went on to lose the match, Raza’s brilliant hat-trick stood out as one of the tournament’s most memorable individual achievements.
