ALSO READ:
Curtis Campher has previously taken four wickets in four balls in a T20I match. That was during Ireland’s T20 World Cup match against Netherlands in Abu Dhabi in 2021. He had become just one of the six bowlers to have taken four wickets from as many deliveries in T20Is.
Curtis Campher was playing his second match since returning from a finger injury. Because of his injury, he missed the ODI and T20I series against West Indies. He made a strong comeback in the Inter-Provincial T20 Trophy match against Leinster Lightning, scoring 57 runs from 35 balls. On Thursday, too, during the Munster Reds’ innings, he slammed 44 runs from 24 balls.
