The 39-year-old leg-spinner is the fourth South African bowler to bag an ODI hat-trick after Charl Langeveldt against Windies in November 2005, JP Duminy against Sri Lanka during the 2015 World Cup and Kagiso Rabada verus Bangladesh in July 2015.

Tahir finished with match figures of 6-24 - his third five-wicket haul in ODIs - as Zimbabwe were shot out for 78 chasing 199 to draw level in the series.
