UNB, Dhaka :
South African pacer Kagiso Rabada set the world record of claiming six wickets, including a hat-trick, on his ODI debut against Bangladesh in the first match of the three-match National Polymer ODI Cricket Series at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur on Friday.
The six-wicket haul of the 20-year-old, Kagiso Rabada, for 16 runs is the best figure in ODI on debut with the previous best figure of six for 22 runs held by Fidel Edwards.
Fidel Edwards took six wickets for 22 runs on his debut against Zimbabwe in Harare on November 29, 2003.
Rabada’s hat-trick is the 3rd for South Africa in ODI after Charl Langeveldt in 2005 and Jean Paul Duminy in 2015. This is overall 39th hat-trick in the ODI format.
Kagiso Rabada dismissed Tamim, Liton Das and Mahmudullah in the 4th, 5th and 6th delivery of his second over to complete his hat-trick. He sent back the three batsmen for duck.
On his way to the six-wicket haul, Rabada also captured Soumya Sarkar, Mashrafe Bin Mortaza and Jubaier Hossain for 16 runs in his 8 overs spell.
The devastating bowling of Rabada restricted the hosts Bangladesh to 160 runs in 36.3 overs in the rain-hit curtailed 40 over-a-side match.
