31 years ago on this date, Pakistan's Jalal-ud-Din took the first ever hat-trick in ODI history.
As Australia began their tour of Pakistan, the two teams kicked off the series with the 1st ODI in Hyderabad.
Zaheer Abbas was the stand-in captain for Imran Khan, who was being rested after a successful tour of England. In his place came right-arm pacer Jalal-ud-Din, who was playing the 2nd ODI match of his career.
After being asked to bat first by Australia, Pakistan put on a total of 229/6 in their allotted 40 overs. The only notable score being opener Mohsin Khan's 104.
In reply, Australia made their way to 104/0 after 23 overs. Right-arm offbreak bowler Tauseef Ahmed had a triple strike then which set Australia back to 109/3.
Australia recovered to 157/3 before Jalal-ud-Din had Allan Border caught behind by wicket-keeper Wasim Bari. Jalal-ud-Din wasn't done, however. He returned for his seventh over and with the final three balls, took the wickets of Rod Marsh, Bruce Yardley and Geoff Lawson. It was the first hat-trick in ODI history.
Australia collapsed from 157/3 to 170/9. Pakistan won by 59 runs.
