Commentator: Justin Smyth

At the halfway point, not many in the ground would have taken the Warriors to be the winnner of this game. Although Cameron Melly had other ideas and hit a blistering 37 off only 16 balls. The sixth wicket partnership with Shane Getkate off 51 in only 23 balls took the Warriors to their target with a ball to spare. Our first real tight game of the season. Five of the Warriors batters had a strike rate at better then a run a ball, and the Knights bowlers had no answers as the ball flew to all parts of the ground. It's just been announced that Melly has been named as the player of the match. Fully deserved too as the Warriors collect four points for the win as they celebrate their first win of the season. I can hear them singing from here! Hope that you enjoyed the coverage of the game today. It was great to be able to see our first close game of the season. Tomorrow we are back here again as we change format to the IP50 for the first game of the season in that competition. Hope that you can join me then. Until then, this is Justin Smyth saying goodnight from Stormont. See you tomorrow.

Koen to Melly, FOUR, another full toss from Koen, Melly hits the ball cleanly over the top of the fielder at extra cover. Nobody chases after the ball and it runs to the boundary. The Warriors win!

Lots of talking around the field. How will the Knights defend this. The field doesn't really come in much

This is getting tense here. Rock comes up and talks to the bowler.
