2020 THIS DAY, THAT YEAR

-

Sixteen-year-old Naseem Shah became the youngest bowler to take a Test hat-trick when he dismissed Najmul Hussain Shanto, Taijul Islam and Mahmudulla­h off successive balls in Bangladesh's second innings in Rawalpindi. The previous recordhold­er was, in fact, Bangladesh­i - Alok Kapali, who had performed the feat against Pakistan in 2003 at the age of 19. Pakistan went on to win this Test by an innings, dismissing Bangladesh for 233 and 168 and piling on 445 themselves. Babar Azam scored his fourth hundred in seven innings and opener Shan Masood his second consecutiv­e century.
