Campher's all-round performance keeps Ireland's Super 12 hopes alive
Despite losing four wickets for 61 runs, Campher and George Dockrell added an unbroken 119 off 57 balls to see Ireland home.
Curtis Campher's all-round performance saw Ireland grab their first win in the first round of the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup. Chasing a quite stiff target of 177, Ireland were home with six wickets and six balls in hand.
Batting first, Scotland posted a substantial total of 176 for five thanks to Michael Jones' 55-ball-86 with the help of six fours and four sixes.
Skipper Richard Berrington (37 off 27) played a good hand as well. Campher (2/9) was the pick of the bowlers.
