New Zealand pacer Trent Boult bowled beautifully against Pakistan in the first ODI which played at the Abu Dhabi as he got out three top-order batsmen on three consecutive deliveries.
Boult became the third New Zealander to produce a hat-trick. His dismissals were as follows:
Fakhar Zaman b Boult 1 (5b 0x4 0x6):
WICKET! Trent Boult is in the headlines once again! Not a good shot by Fakhar as the ball flicks his pads and goes onto the stumps, Pakistan 8-1

Babar Azam c Taylor b Boult 0 (1b 0x4 0x6):
WICKET! And now @babarazam258 departs, Babar hangs his bat outside off-stump, replays show that the ball did not hit the ground before going into the slips. Two in two for Boult!

It is a hat-trick for @trent_boult! Full swinging delivery does the trick, @MHafeez22 is falling across his stumps. Pakistan in trouble at 8/3
