This is the first time anyone has done this in an international T20 match.

It happened when Indonesia was playing against Cambodia.

Gede first got three wickets in a row, which is called a hat-trick.

Then he bowled a ball that no one hit, and finally got two more wickets.

Two other bowlers have done this in other types of T20 matches, but Gede is the first in an international game.
