Hasan Ali’s Hat-Trick Heroics and Chainsaw Celebration Light Up T20 Blast 2025
Warwickshire Defeat Derbyshire by 58 Runs in Match 36 of T20 Blast 2025
Edgbaston witnessed high drama and sheer brilliance as Pakistan’s Hasan Ali delivered a match-defining spell, claiming a sensational hat-trick and finishing with career-best T20 figures of 6 for 23. His stunning performance not only helped Warwickshire crush Derbyshire by 58 runs in the 36th match of the T20 Blast 2025, but also ignited the crowd with his trademark ‘Chainsaw’ celebration.
A Lethal Spell: Hasan Ali’s Hat-Trick Turns the Game
Three Balls of Mayhem at Edgbaston
Derbyshire looked somewhat in control, with Ross Whiteley anchoring their chase after a gritty fifty. But everything changed in the 16th over when Hasan Ali came charging in.
-
First victim: Ross Whiteley attempted a lofted drive off a full delivery but found George Garton perfectly placed at long-off.
-
Second ball: Alex Thomson tried to force a length delivery, only to miscue it straight into Garton’s hands again — this time inside the circle.
-
Hat-trick ball: Ben Aitchison was comprehensively beaten by a full, fast delivery. The stumps shattered, and Edgbaston erupted.
With the atmosphere electric, Hasan sprinted towards midwicket and unleashed his famous ‘Chainsaw Celebration’, leaving fans in raptures.
🏏 “It was a magical moment for the fans and a turning point for the team,” a Warwickshire supporter shared online.
Warwickshire Set a Challenging Total of 199/6
Put in to bat first, Warwickshire rode on a collective effort to post a strong 199 for 6.
-
Tom Latham led the top order with a composed 58 off 42 balls.
-
Alex Davies blasted a quickfire 49 off 29 deliveries.
-
The finishing touches came from Moeen Ali’s unbeaten 33 (17 balls) and George Garton’s cameo of 16 from just 4 balls*, propelling the total near the 200-mark.
Despite the solid batting, it was clear that the pitch had some assistance for seamers — something Hasan Ali exploited perfectly.
