The fourth edition of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) is set to take place from January 9 to February 5. Five teams — Delhi Capitals, Gujarat Giants, Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bengaluru and UP Warriorz — will compete across 22 games across two venues — Vadodara and Navi Mumbai.

Here’s a look at the three players who have succeeded in taking hat-tricks in the two season of the WPL:

Issy Wong (Mumbai Indians)

Issy Wong, the England all-rounder, completed the first-ever hat-trick in the WPL, which guided eventual title-winner Mumbai to the 2023 final. After opening her account with the dismissal of UP Warriorz’s skipper Alyssa Healy, Wong struck thrice in the 13th over with the wickets of the well-set Kiran Navgire, Simran Shaikh and Sophie Ecclestone.

Kiran, who kept the momentum going for UP, went for a big shot on a full toss and was caught at the boundary. Simran was castled with a full delivery and Ecclestone couldn’t protect her wicket and was dismissed for a golden duck with her stumps broken.

Depth Sharma (Up Warriorz)

Indian all-rounder Deepti Sharma became the first Indian to take a hat-trick in the WPL, which helped UP Warrioirz claim a thrilling one-run win over Delhi Capitals in 2024. Deepti executed the hat-trick across two spells, starting with the prized wicket of Delhi’s captain Meg Lanning who was finding runs with ease.

On the last ball of the 14th over, Lanning, who was on 60 from 46 balls, was trapped in front. Returning in the penultimate over, Sutherland misjudged the length ball that clattered into the middle stump. On the second ball, Arundhati failed to get a clean connection and was caught.

Grace Harris (UP Warriorz)

UP Warriorz’s Grace Harris became the third bowler in the history of the Women’s Premier League to register a hat-trick. She achieved the feat against Delhi Capitals last season, helping UPW seal a 33-run win in the process at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

Harris bowled 2.3 overs in this game, those final three deliveries coming in the 20th over of the Delhi innings. She removed Niki Prasad with a short delivery forcing the youngster to swing the bat only to hole out to Chinelle Henry at deep mid-wicket. She then took out Arundhati Reddy off the very next ball with the Delhi all-rounder with a thigh high full toss that was awkwardly thumped to Shweta Sehrawat between cover and point. The Australian then snuffed out Minnu Mani with a catch off her own bowling to bring the curtains down on the Delhi effort.
