Taskin, during the second match of the three-ODI series against Sri Lanka, achieved this feat in the very last over of the innings at Dambulla. Sri Lanka looked set to cross the 320-run mark before Taskin nabbed Asela Gunaratne, Suranga Lakmal and Nuwan Pradeep in three back-to-back deliveries. The first Bangladesh bowler to take a hat-trick was Shahadat Hossain against Zimbabwe way back in 2006. Abdul Razzak was the second Bangladeshi, taking 3 in 3 against again Zimbabwe in 2010. Rubel Hossain achieved this triumph against New Zealand in 2013, while the last Bangladeshi bowler before Taskin was Taijul Islam, who recorded this in 2014 versus Zimbabwe.
