It was a debut to remember for Vaishnavi Sharma as she picked up a fifer and a hat-trick against Malaysia in their group A clash at Kuala Lumpur in the ongoing ICC Under-19 Women’s T20 World Cup 2025.
Vaishnavi became the first-ever India U-19 women cricketer to take a hat-trick in World Cup. On the second ball of the 14th over, the left-arm spinner trapped Ain in front of the wickets.
The following delivery was a repeat of the previous ball as Vaishnavi again trapped Nur Isma Dania into her trap as she was given LBW out. The hat-trick ball was special as the batter created a space for herself, but Sharma quickly saw the gap and bowled her round the leg-stump.
