After the Warriors had batted, there was a feeling that there total was below par, and do it proved. The Lightning have motored to an eight wicket win. The Warriors needed early wickets, but a steady opening partnership meant that the Lightning never were put under any pressure. An 84 run partnership between Harry Tector and Tucker sealed the deal. It does mean that the Lightning pick up their fourth bonus point win in a row and have stretched their lead at the top of the table to 10 points over the Norther Knights. Harry Tector has just been named the player of the match. Don't forget that we have another game later today, when The Knights play the Reds. The game starts at 3:45pm, so please join me then. This is Justin saying goodbye from Stormont.
