Playing for the Trinidad Knight Riders, Munro smashed 120 off 57 balls in a 12 run win over St Kitts and Nevis in their opening game. His innings included 14 fours and 6 sixes and he had a strike rate of 210. Munro broke the record for most runs in boundaries (92) in an innings in T20's for TKR, while his 120 is the highest individual score in T20's for the franchise. He and Alex Hales put on a century opening partnership with the side going on to make 231/5. Munro then bowled an over as St Kitts and Nevis Patriots finished on 219/7. "A little bit of relief, pretty nice to get a big score, Munro said afterwards. "It was just about assessing conditions with Alex Hales. I've batted with Alex a number of times... we had a good partnership. "When we were none down for 70 or 80, the bowlers bowled in our zones, lucky enough to come off today." Munro played for New Zealand between 2012 and 2020, including 65 T20I's, 57 ODI's and one Test. The 38-year-old has been playing franchise cricket around the world since then.
