Also, Curtis Campher became only the 3rd bowler after Lasith Malinga and Rashid Khan to achieve this feat in T20 internationals.
Coming in to bowl his second over - 10th of Netherlands' batting innings, Campher first dismissed Ackermann after the batsman's attempted pull shot went into the gloves of wicketkeeper Neil Rock. Next up, Doeschare was trapped in front of the stump while trying to play across the line. On the hat-trick delivery, the South Africa-born cricketer trapped Edwards in a similar fashion. By this time fans and commentators were going wild at Abu Dhabi's Sheikh Zayed Stadium. Campher added more flavour to the celebration by castling Merwe, to make it 4 dismissals in 4 deliveries. Notably, the first and third wickets came only after Ireland opted for DRS reviews.
Earlier, Netherlands won the toss and elected to bat first in their first Group A match.
Campher you beauty!👏

This is the first edition of the men's T20 World Cup in which the DRS is being used, and Ireland's Curtis Campher, who now has four wickets in four balls, will be especially grateful for that. |
