New Delhi: Curtis Campher took four wickets in four balls in a T20 World Cup qualifier against the Netherlands. Curtis is first from Ireland to take a T20I hat-trick. Lasith Malinga and Rashid Khan had achieved the feat and now Campher has joined the duo in the elite list.
Campher achieved the feat in Ireland’s ongoing Group A match of the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup against the Netherlands.
The pacer achieved the feat in the 10th over as he dismissed Colin Ackermann (11), Ryan ten Doeschate (0), Scott Edwards (0) and Pieter Seelaar (0).

He becomes the 3rd bowler to do so. Here’s the list:
Lasith Malinga v New Zealand, 2019
Rashid Khan v Ireland, 2019
Curtis Campher v Netherlands, 2021
Netherlands was going well at 51/2, but owing to Campher’s antics, the Dutch were quickly reduced to 51/6 before the completion of the 10th over.
Earlier, Malinga had taken four wickets in four balls against New Zealand while Rashid achieved the feat against Ireland. In the ongoing match between Ireland and Netherlands, the latter won the toss and opted to bat first.
