Shabnim Ismail took a hat-trick off the final three balls of Birmingham Phoenix’s innings to tug off an exhilarating three-run win for Welsh Fire within the The Hundred Women’s Competition at Edgbaston on Thursday.
Birmingham wanted 4 runs to win off three balls when Ismail dismissed Tess Flintoff, Erin Burns, and Issy Wong off consecutive deliveries to tug off the heist.
The South African completed with figures of three for 31 from 20 balls.
Ismail introduced her retirement from worldwide cricket in May this yr. Her final match was towards Australia within the IC Women’s T20 World Cup last, the place she picked two for 26 in 4 overs in South Africa’s 19-run defeat.
The 34-year-old has taken 191 ODI wickets and has 123 T20I scalps and is thought to be one of many quickest bowlers to have performed the ladies’s recreation.
