Shadab Khan has reached a rare milestone in T20 cricket after taking his second career hat trick during the 2026 Caribbean Premier League. Representing the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons, the Pakistan all rounder produced the feat against the Guyana Amazon Warriors in Qualifier 1.
Shadab removed Shimron Hetmyer, Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Quentin Sampson with three consecutive deliveries to complete the hat trick. He finished the match with impressive figures of 4 wickets for 16 runs.
The achievement places Shadab among a select group of Pakistani bowlers who have taken multiple hat tricks in T20 cricket. His first came in the 2024 Lanka Premier League, where he represented the Colombo Strikers.
Two years later, he repeated the feat on the Caribbean stage. The latest hat trick also came against a strong Guyana batting lineup, making his four wicket spell particularly influential during the knockout fixture.
A T20 hat trick requires three wickets from three successive deliveries, making it one of the format’s most difficult bowling achievements.
Shadab’s latest performance adds another significant entry to an already extensive T20 career. Beyond the hat trick, his 4 for 16 figures made him one of the key contributors with the ball during the Falcons’ playoff campaign.
His ability to contribute in multiple areas has remained a defining feature of his career. As an all rounder, Shadab has represented Pakistan and several franchise teams around the world across T20 competitions.
