Bangladesh seamer Hasan Mahmud scripted history against Afghanistan during the ongoing one-off Test in Abu Dhabi. Mahmud became the first fast bowler from the country to pick up a Test hat-trick, and the third overall. He achieved this monumental feat on day three, bagging three wickets off successive deliveries to put Bangladesh on top. Despite Afghanistan captain Rahmat Shah’s unbeaten 102, Bangladesh wrapped up their innings on 240, 106 shy of Bangladesh’s first-innings total.&nbsp;Bowling the innings’ 83rd over, Mahmud first dismissed Ismat Alam bowled on just one before dismissing Qais Ahmad on the very next ball, caught behind by Litton Das on a duck. On a hat-trick, Mahmud trapped Zia-ur-Rehman Akbar on the next delivery, only for Bangladesh to challenge the on-field decision and have it overturned by the DRS.&nbsp;WATCH VIDEO –
