[Curtis Campher](http://www.espncricinfo.com/player/curtis-campher-595921)is most well-known for his four wickets in four balls in the World Cup last year, but in this edition, it is his batting that has helped carry Ireland into the Super 12s. Showers are forecast for the afternoon, but there should be enough time to get a game in, even if curtailed. He is the team's top scorer from the qualifying stage, having made 99 runs off 54 for the tournament so far. Both teams have arrived in the Super 12s with a bit of confidence, but also knowing they must still prove themselves in this phase of the tournament. They appear to take particular pleasure in chasing, with their middle order having been excellent against Scotland, before the top order thumped West Indies.

Full and straight on leg stump and the batter missed it completely. At one stage, it looked Ireland will make the most of this over, but failed to do so. First ball was gone for a boundary, but then the bowler Binura Fernando improvised. That was the flicker and the batter has failed miserably as he looked to sweep the ball. Slow ball and he just drove it through the on side. The bowler had bowled this short and wide and he smashed that one over the covers. Meanwhile, that ball hung in the air forever, and Lahiru Kumara made a mess of it. WICKETโ€“And off the very next ball, he finds the fielder. Advances down the track and hits that one through the off side. Hasaranga bowled it short and Tector used the depth of the crease to launch it through the leg side. Thatโ€™s bizarre release point, but this is working well for Sri Lanka as they give away just four runs to Ireland. Sri Lanka continue to tighten the noose around Ireland.
