    Campher achieved the feat in an Irish domestic T20 match playing for the Munster Reds against North-West Warriors, eventually finishing with figures of 5-16 in 2.3 overs.

    North-West Warriors slumped from 87-5 to 88 all out in a run-chase of 189 with Campher taking his wickets across his second and third overs.

    The seamer removed Jared Wilson with the penultimate delivery of the 12th over before dismissing Graham Hume lbw with his next ball.

    Campher then completed his hat-trick with the first ball of his next over when Andy McBrine miscued a slog towards deep midwicket.

    The wicket-taking streak continued when number 10 Robbie Millar was out caught behind before bowling last man Josh Wilson.

    Campher said afterwards: "Because of the change of overs, I wasn't really sure what was happening. I just kind of stuck to my guns and kept it real simple and luckily it kind of went off."
