In a spell that will be etched into Pakistan’s domestic cricket folklore, Islamabad Region’s fiery fast bowler Mohammad Musa unleashed a devastating burst of pace to script a historic double hat-trick in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy 2025–26, ending a decade-long wait for such a rare achievement.

The extraordinary moment unfolded in the tournament’s final round at the Diamond Cricket Ground, where the speedster tore through the batting order of Peshawar with surgical precision, removing four batters on four consecutive deliveries in a spell that left the crowd stunned.

The double hat-trick came in the second innings, while earlier in the match the fast bowler had already claimed a five-wicket haul in the first innings, completing a match-defining performance of sheer dominance.

Riding on this ruthless bowling exhibition, Islamabad crushed their opponents by an innings and 77 runs, sealing a thumping victory and closing their campaign with authority and pride.

Meanwhile, Sialkot and Karachi Blues had already booked their berths in the final, setting the stage for a high-stakes title clash.
