• Imran Tahir playing for Multan Sultans on March 3, 2018 in Sharjah against Quetta Gladiators, got out Hasan Khan, John Hastings, and Rahat Ali in successive deliveries.
• Mohammad Sami playing for Islamabad United on February 22, 2019 in Sharjah against Peshawar Zalmi, scalped the wickets of Wahab Riaz, Umaid Asif, and Hasan Ali perpetually.

• Akeal Hosein playing for Quetta Gladiators on 8 March 2024 in Rawalpindi against Peshawar Zalmi, picked the wickets of Aamer Jamal, Mehran Mumtaz, and Luke Wood on the trot.

Hosein finished his spell with outstanding figures of 4/23. The West Indies star picked the wicket of Babar Azam in the 13th over before registering the hat-trick in the 16th over of the game.

Aamer Jamal was the first one to fall on the second delivery bowled outside the off. Jamal looked for a late cut but got caught behind the wicket by Evans. The batter was initially given not out by the on-field umpire but UltraEdge confirmed that there was a definite edge on it.

Mehran Mumtaz was the second victim of Hosein who got knocked over on the not-so-great delivery but luck was shining on the Hosein as Mumtaz dragged it onto the stumps off a thick under-edge.

The third one was the arm-ball from round the wicket. Luke Wood got forward to defend but ended up edging the ball towards Rilee Rossouw, who took a sharp catch at slip with the ball almost past him.
