Manik bags hat trick in scintillating tied match

Paceman Manik Khan bagged a hattrick for Prime Doleshwar Sporting Club -- becoming the second bowler to bag a hattrick on T20 debut in after Aliss Al Islam – as the Dhaka Premier League (DPL) T20 match between Prime Doleshwar and BKSP ended in a scintillating tie.

Aliss had performed the feat for Dhaka Dynamites against Rangpur Riders in the last edition of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) when he bagged a hat trick on debut.

Today Manik grabbed two wickets in the last two deliveries of the very first over he bowled -- also the first delivery of the innings -- before he came back in the third over to grab his hat trick at Fatullah's Khan Shaheb Osman Ali Stadium.

He removed Farhad Ahmed, Parvez Hossain -- both falling without troubling the scorers -- in the first over before taking the scalp of Ratul Khan. He bagged four wickets for 12 runs as Prime Doleshwar restricted BKSP to 111 to see the match end in a tie. The hat trick however was not enough to give his side victory as BKSP edged Doleshwar in the Super Over.

He became ther third Bangladesh bowler to bag a hat trick in T20. Pacer Al Amin has two T20 hat tricks in domestic circuit.
