Habib: "As a Pakistani, thankful to BBL, for featuring Rauf, definitely should be in the squad for wt20."

8:45 pm Well what a day in the BBL! First Rashid Khan, then Haris Rauf with a hat-trick. The overseas bowling stars are earning their paychecks that's for sure. Looks like a below par total based on what Haris was able to pull off with the ball and momentum definitely in favor of the Stars heading into the chase.

Haris Rauf to Ross, 1 bye, bouncer clears the attempted pull. They scamper a bye with the keeper's throw going awry. Spectacular 20th over from Haris concedes just two runs and one off the bat.

Replays show the hat-trick ball would've been shaving leg stump based on ball-tracking.

Haris Rauf to Ross, no run, slower ball on a length bounces over the stumps at 124 kph, Ross way out in front.

Haris Rauf to Sams, OUT, a doubleheader double hat-trick! Good length ball skids on to beat Sams' flick across and pinned lbw in front of middle. Replays indicate Sams was struck high on the back leg in front of middle and leg with the ball tailing in. Very favorable decision on height and line but he's bowled very well today.

DR Sams lbw b Haris Rauf 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Daniel Sams to face the hat-trick ball. Rashid Khan got one earlier today. Can Haris make it two?

Haris Rauf to Ferguson, OUT, on a hat-trick! Another cutter at 125 kph on a fullish length. Ferguson hasn't looked comfortable since being struck on the toe in Rauf's previous over. Ferguson shuffles well across his stumps mistimes this off his thigh and ricochets into the stumps.

CJ Ferguson b Haris Rauf 35 (27b 3x4 1x6) SR: 129.62

Haris Rauf to Gilkes, OUT, another slower ball on the legs, skies this flick aiming for midwicket but it sails toward Lamichhane at deep fine leg. He comes in off the rope 15 yards and judges it fairly well, lunging forward at the end to claim this. Give an assist to Zampa for cutting the previous ball to a single to put Gilkes on strike.

Haris Rauf to Ferguson, 1 run, fullish length cutter on middle at 120 kph, goes across the stumps and paddle flicks this to deep fine leg, relayed in to deny two.

Waleed: "How is Haris categorised as medium fast when he consistently bowls quick? He has (rmf) along side his name..." We're doing our best not to unnecessarily inflate any fast bowler's ego.
