A rare occurrence in the history of cricket. What had never happened before happened at 22 yards. The bowlers of both the teams took hat-tricks in the international T20 series of the two countries and made history. In this series between Afghanistan and West Indies, Afghan spinner Mujib ur Rahman and West Indies pacer Shamar Springer set a precedent with a hat trick. Through this, the cricket world witnessed a rare feat in international T20 cricket.
Mujib ur Rahman first scored a hat trick in the second T20 of the series. He dismissed Evin Lewis and Johnson Charles in two consecutive balls in the second innings. He then completed his hat-trick by returning Brandon King on the first ball of his next over. His performance was instrumental in giving Afghanistan a 2–0 series lead and virtually cornering the West Indies.
West Indies responded in the third and final T20. Batting first, they made 151 runs for 7 wickets. In reply, Shamar Springer turned the game around as Afghanistan came close to victory. In the 19th over of the innings, he dismissed Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Rashid Khan and Shahidullah Kamal with three consecutive balls and scored a hat trick. This pacer gave West Indies a 15 run victory with 20 runs for 4 wickets.

With this hat-trick, Springer became only the third West Indies bowler in T20I cricket history, joining Jason Holder and Romario Shepherd. Although Afghanistan won the series, the two hat-tricks made the entire series memorable. The cricketing world had previously seen such an event only in non-full member nations series, making this achievement all the more significant.
