Kathmandu, November 12
Biratnagar Kings captain Sandeep Lamichhane has taken a hat-trick in the Nepal Premier League (NPL). He took six wickets, including a hat-trick, against Pokhara Avengers.
He is the first bowler this season to take six wickets in a single match. He had taken only one wicket in the previous five matches before claiming six in his sixth.
Lamichhane took wickets on the third, fourth and fifth balls of the 15th over. He is the fourth player to take a hat-trick in the NPL. The earlier ones were Biratnagar’s Pratish GC, Kathmandu Gorkhas’ Shahab Alam and Lumbini Lions captain Rohit Paudel.
Lamichhane finished with figures of 6 for 23 in three overs, which wrecked Pokhara’s middle order. Shahab Alam and Karnali Yaks’ William Bosisto have also taken six wickets in a match before.
