T&T spinner Akeal Hosein took a hattrick for New York Strikers against Samp Army in the Abu Dhabi T10.

Hosein removed Andries Gous, Dewald Brevis and Ibrahim Zadran in consecutive balls his first over before taking two more wickets in his second over.

Hosein became the eighth player to take a hattrick in the Abu Dhabi T10.

He ended with 5/6 in two overs as Samp Army slumped to 13/5 after three overs chasing 122 in Qualifier 1.

Hosein was in the action again, just an over later, taking a catch off the bowling of Chamika Karunaratne to remove Karim Janat.

Samp Army were eventually restricted to 80/9 in 10 overs – a 41-run defeat which puts the Strikers into the final of Abu Dhabi T10.
