Moondra’s Record Six-For Levels Ireland Series Against Namibia
Ireland fast bowler Jai Moondra has set a new national record, taking 6 for 26 against Namibia in the fourth one-day international at the High Performance Oval in Windhoek on Friday. His figures are the best ever recorded by an Ireland bowler in international cricket.
Moondra bowled his full ten overs as Ireland defended 298 to win by a thumping 130 runs, levelling the five-match series at 2-2. The 29-year-old, who made his international debut earlier this year in a T20I against India, led the pace attack from the front.
The win sets up a winner-takes-all decider in Windhoek on Sunday, November 1, with the series now perfectly poised after four hard-fought games.
A record-breaking spell
Six wickets for 26 runs across ten overs is a remarkable return in any conditions, and it goes straight to the top of Ireland's all-time international bowling figures — a landmark for a bowler only months into his international career.
