A coincidence has occurred in women's cricket that has never been seen before. The three batsmen Chamari Atapattu dismissed in her hat-trick in the Asia Cup were the same ones she had previously dismissed in her previous hat-trick.

Thailand Cricketer Phannita Maya, Sri Lanka Cricketer Chamari Athapaththu

Women's cricket witnessed an extraordinary coincidence, a first in its history. Sri Lankan captain Chamari Athapaththu took a hat-trick against Indonesia in the Women's Asia Cup. The three batsmen she dismissed were the same as those she had dismissed in her previous hat-trick. Furthermore, there was another common feature between the two hat-tricks.

Sri Lanka defeated Indonesia by 75 runs in the Women's Asia Cup on Wednesday, September 2. Sri Lankan captain Chamari Atapattu was named Player of the Match, taking 7 wickets for 5 runs in 3.3 overs. This included a hat-trick in the 19th over. She dismissed Ni Kadeka Ariani with the first ball, Nyoman Mepriani with the second ball, and Agung Laxmi with the third ball to complete her hat-trick.

Such a coincidence was seen for the first time!

Before Atapattu, Thailand's Phanita Maya had taken a hat-trick in women's cricket. She also took three wickets in three consecutive balls against Indonesia in the ACC Women's Premier Cup held earlier this year. Coincidentally, Maya also dismissed Ariani, Mepriani, and Lakshmi on the first, second, and third balls. What's even more surprising is that both dismissed all three batsmen in the same manner.
