Curtis Campher starred with the ball and hit the winning runs with the bat as Ireland earned a seven-wicket win in the first of three T20Is against the UAE in Dubai.

A disciplined bowling performance followed by a 90-run opening stand between Paul Stirling and Kevin O’Brien were also crucial as Ireland bounced back from defeat against Scotland in a warm-up fixture on Tuesday, as preparations for the T20 World Cup continue.
