A Spell for the Ages
Priandana’s moment of immortality arrived in the 16th over of Cambodia’s chase. With the visitors at 106-5 and needing 62 runs, the right-arm seamer was introduced and promptly dismantled the lower order.
He struck with his first ball to remove set batter Shah Abrar Hussain (61), completed a hat-trick on the next two deliveries, and after a dot ball, claimed two more wickets off his fifth and sixth legal balls.
His final, mind-boggling figures read 1-0-1-5, securing the win and a unique world record.
Story of the Match
The match was first set up by a blistering third T20I century from wicketkeeper-batter Dharma Kesuma, whose 110 off 68 balls propelled Indonesia to 167-5.
In reply, Cambodia fought through an 80-run partnership before Priandana’s devastating over triggered a spectacular collapse, bundling Cambodia out for 107 and etching his name into cricketing lore forever.
