The 18-year-old achieved the milestone during Match 32 for Peshawar Zalmi against Karachi Kings at the Gaddafi Stadium on Wednesday.Raza\u2019s sensational spell marked the first hat-trick of the season and also the first ever by a Peshawar Zalmi bowler in PSL history. <\/p>\n Watch<\/span><\/p>\n Venugopal Rao explains where Delhi Capitals lost the game while chasing a big total<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Showing remarkable composure under pressure, the youngster tore through Karachi\u2019s lower order to finish with impressive figures of 4 for 41. His effort proved crucial in restricting Karachi to 182\/9, despite a fighting 85 from Jason Roy.The landmark effort added Raza\u2019s name to an elite list of PSL hat-trick achievers since the tournament\u2019s inception in 2016. The list began with Mohammad Amir, who registered the league\u2019s first hat-trick for Karachi Kings. Since then, players like Junaid Khan, Imran Tahir, the only spinner on the list, and Mohammad Sami have delivered memorable spells.More recent editions have seen match-defining efforts from Abbas Afridi and Akeal Hosein, but Raza\u2019s feat stands out for its sheer precocity. At just 18, he has set a new benchmark for young bowlers in the competition.Interestingly, this isn\u2019t the first time Karachi Kings have been on the receiving end this season. Earlier in PSL 2026, they suffered a record 159-run defeat, the largest margin in the league\u2019s history, further highlighting their struggles.Raza\u2019s breakthrough performance not only underlines his immense potential but also gives Peshawar Zalmi a major boost as the tournament heads into its decisive phase.<\/div>\n
