Bangladeshi spinner, Sohag
Gazi, has played a very important role with both the bat and ball behind the
draw match of the first Test against New Zealand
at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong.
Because of his all-rounder
performance, the host nation could make a tough competition against the touring
team. With the bat, he scored an unbeaten 101 and with the ball he took six
wickets including a hat-trick.
The 22-year-old
off-spinner took the wickets of Corey Anderson, Bradley-John Watling and Doug
Bracewell in second, third and fourth balls of the 85th over.
With this performance, he
made a world
record of getting a century and a hat-trick in a Test match. He was
announced “Player of the Match” for his great performance.
He has also become the
second Bangladeshi bowler to claim a Test hat-trick after Alok Kapali, who
achieved the feat against Pakistan
in 2003 when he dismissed lower orders- Shabbir Ahmed, Danish Kaneria and Umar
Gul in three consecutive deliveries.
