A hat-trick in cricket is when a bowler takes three wickets in consecutive deliveries, dismissing three different batsmen. It is a relatively rare event in Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) cricket with only 53 occurrences in over 2,500 matches. [1]
The first hat-trick in WT20Is was taken by Asmavia Iqbal of Pakistan, playing against England in Loughborough on 5 September 2012. [2]
