The 18-year-old achieved the feat during Match 32 of the PSL, as Peshawar Zalmi faced Karachi Kings at the Gaddafi Stadium on Wednesday. Raza\u2019s spell was not only the season\u2019s first hat-trick, but also the first ever by a bowler from Peshawar Zalmi in PSL history.<\/p>\n<h2>Ali Raza\u2019s hat-trick and the impact on Karachi<\/h2>\n<p>Raza delivered a devastating burst through Karachi\u2019s lower order, showing calm and execution under pressure. He finished with figures of 4 for 41, a haul that proved pivotal in keeping Karachi to 182\/9, even though Jason Roy played a determined innings of 85.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ali Raza became the youngest Pakistani to take a hat-trick in PSL.<\/li>\n<li>The hat-trick arrived in Match 32 for Peshawar Zalmi vs Karachi Kings.<\/li>\n<li>It was the first hat-trick of the season.<\/li>\n<li>It was the first hat-trick by any Peshawar Zalmi bowler in PSL history.<\/li>\n<li>Raza\u2019s final figures: 4\/41.<\/li>\n<li>Karachi ended on 182\/9, despite Jason Roy scoring 85.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>A milestone with a place in PSL\u2019s hat-trick lineage<\/h2>\n<p>With the landmark performance, Raza joined an elite group of PSL hat-trick makers stretching back to the tournament\u2019s start in 2016. The trail began with Mohammad Amir, who recorded the league\u2019s first hat-trick for Karachi Kings. Since then, the list has grown to include names such as Junaid Khan, Imran Tahir, the only spinner on the hat-trick roll, and Mohammad Sami.<\/p>\n<p>More recent seasons have also produced standout match-turning spells from Abbas Afridi and Akeal Hosein. Even with those memorable contributions, Raza\u2019s accomplishment has drawn extra attention due to the sheer early stage of his career\u2014at just 18, he has set a fresh benchmark for pace bowlers in the competition.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>PSL hat-trick records date back to 2016.<\/li>\n<li>Mohammad Amir registered the league\u2019s first hat-trick for Karachi Kings.<\/li>\n<li>Other hat-trick achievers include Junaid Khan, Imran Tahir, and Mohammad Sami.<\/li>\n<li>Imran Tahir is the only spinner on the hat-trick list.<\/li>\n<li>Later editions have featured hat-tricks from Abbas Afridi and Akeal Hosein.<\/li>\n<li>Raza\u2019s feat stands out for his precocious age\u201418 years old.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Karachi Kings\u2019 ongoing struggles in the season<\/h2>\n<p>The storyline around Karachi Kings has been troubling for them beyond this match as well. This wasn\u2019t the first time they had come under heavy pressure during the current PSL cycle. Earlier in PSL 2026, Karachi suffered a record 159-run defeat\u2014described as the biggest margin in league history\u2014emphasising their persistent difficulties.<\/p>\n<p>Raza\u2019s breakthrough therefore lands as more than an individual milestone. It underlines his high potential and also gives Peshawar Zalmi a significant lift as the tournament moves toward its decisive phase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW DELHI:
