4 Wickets, Zero Drama: Shadab Khan's Hat-Trick Sends Falcons Into the CPL Final
The Pakistan all-rounder dismantled Guyana Amazon Warriors' top order, bagging a hat-trick as Antigua and Barbuda Falcons chased down 77 inside the powerplay.
Shadab Khan's hat-trick and Sufiyan Moqim's four-wicket haul bowl out Guyana Amazon Warriors for 76, as Falcons cruise into the CPL final.
Pakistan all-rounder Shadab Khan claimed a hat-trick against Guyana Amazon Warriors at Kensington Oval, Barbados, dismissing Shimron Hetmyer, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, and Quentin Sampson without conceding a run, then adding the wicket of legendary skipper Imran Tahir — powering Antigua and Barbuda Falcons into the CPL final.
A Total Collapse
After Mavendra Dindyal's early dismissal triggered a slide, seven Warriors batters failed to reach double figures, with only Glenn Phillips and Shai Hope managing 16 each. Sufiyan Moqim backed up Shadab brilliantly, taking four wickets himself as the Warriors were bundled out for just 76.
A Chase Over Almost Before It Started
Falcons completed their 77-run target in just 32 deliveries, finishing the game inside the powerplay in a thoroughly one-sided contest. Rakheem Cornwall top-scored with 49 before falling agonisingly one short of raising his bat.
The Bottom Line
A hat-trick, a four-wicket haul from the other end, and a chase wrapped up before the powerplay even ended — this wasn't a close contest, it was a statement, and Falcons now await the winner of Jamaica Kingsmen vs Guyana Amazon Warriors in the final.
