Leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga bagged a hat-trick in his first match of the Lanka Premier League 2022 season.

This is the first time a hat-trick has been taken in this competition.

[{ "selector": ".gfxrx-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-94.64559819413088px)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".xmlab-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(calc(360px - 9px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Hasaranga is currently the skipper of Kandy Falcons, achieving this feat against the Colombo Stars.

The Sri Lankan all-rounder played with the Jaffna Kings for two seasons before joining the Falcons.

Hasaranga went on to finish with figures of 3-0-14-4.

He first took the wicket of Dinesh Chandimal (9 off 9).

Then followed Ben Howell and Seekkuge Prasanna as the Colombo-based team faced a collapse of their batting.

[{ "selector": ".qqnbu-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(calc(360px - 9px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".begen-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(calc(360px - 9px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]
