List of Twenty20 International cricket hat-tricks

A hat-trick in cricket is when a bowler takes three wickets from consecutive deliveries. It is a relatively rare event in Twenty20 International (T20I) cricket with only 29 occurrences as of 10 April 2022.[1]

For list of hat-tricks in women's Twenty20 International cricket, see List of women's Twenty20 International cricket hat-tricks.

The first Twenty20 hat-trick was taken by Brett Lee of Australia, playing against Bangladesh in Cape Town on September 2007.[1][2] Lasith Malinga is the only bowler with multiple T20I hat-tricks. His first hat-trick was achieved against Bangladesh in 2017[3] and his second hat-trick occurred in September 2019 against New Zealand.[4]

Rashid Khan, Lasith Malinga, Curtis Campher and Jason Holder are the only bowlers to take four wickets in four balls in T20Is, Khan achieving this feat against Ireland in February 2019,[5] and Malinga repeating the achievement against New Zealand in September 2019.[4] On 18 October 2021 at 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup, Campher achieved the feat against the Netherlands[6] On 30 January 2022, Holder achieved this feat against England.[7][8]

On 6 August 2021, Nathan Ellis picked up three wickets off the last three balls of Bangladesh innings to become the first male cricketer to take a hat-trick on his debut in a T20I match.[9]
