Left-arm medium pacer Fariha Trisna's remarkable hat-trick against Australia brought moments of joy amidst Bangladesh's defeat in the second T20I at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur. Despite her impressive performance, which included dismissing Ellyse Perry, Sophie Molineux, and Beth Mooney off consecutive deliveries, Bangladesh succumbed to a 58-run loss, conceding the series 2-0 to Australia.
Trisna expressed gratitude for achieving her second T20I hat-trick, attributing her success to divine intervention and a desire to contribute to the team's cause. Her return to T20Is after a six-month hiatus due to a back injury made the feat even more satisfying, with the bowler crediting her recovery and preparation under the guidance of former Sri Lankan fast bowler Champaka Ramanayake.
While Trisna's individual achievement brought personal satisfaction, she acknowledged the disappointment of losing the match, stating that victory would have amplified the joy of her hat-trick. Despite the setback, Trisna remained focused on collective success, emphasizing the importance of team performance over personal milestones.
In assessing Bangladesh's bowling options, Trisna praised her teammate Marufa Akter's skills, highlighting the potential for Bangladesh to field two pacers in their lineup if they perform consistently as a team. Trisna's performance earned praise from Australian batter Grace Harris, who commended her accuracy and late movement with the ball.
At just 21 years old, Trisna joins a select group of women's bowlers to have claimed two T20I hat-tricks, showcasing her potential for further growth and contribution to Bangladesh cricket. Despite the loss, Trisna's remarkable achievement adds a bright spot to Bangladesh's cricketing landscape, underscoring the talent and determination within the team.
