Hat-tricks by Pakistani bowlers in Tests an all time list

1. Wasim Akram (twice vs Sri Lanka, 1999)

While other bowlers have enjoyed the hat-trick once or perhaps more than once in their lifetime, the Pakistan pace legend, Wasim Akram did it consecutively during the Asian Test Championship 1989-99, played between India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Akram claimed his first hat-trick against Sri Lanka in the third match of the tournament at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. As Sri Lank were inching to generate the lead, Akram sent the last three batters of Sri Lanka, Niroshan Bandaratilleke, Pramodya Wickramasinghe and Sajeewa de Silva to claim his first hat-trick.

After almost four days, both teams collided in the final and this time Akram bulldozed over the middle order of the Lankan Lions in the second innings. Bowling the first over, he made Avishka Gunawardene hole out to Shahid Afridi. The nightwatchman, Chaminda Vaas, was cleaned up on the subsequent delivery, which was also the final ball of the over. He then had to wait the over from the other end to finish, and on the first ball of the third over, dismissed Mahela Jayawardene to claim another hat-trick as Pakistan won the tournament and final by 175 runs.
