Wasn't it great to finish the competition off with a last over finish. The Lightning might have started to get worried with those late wickets falling. Little settled those nerves. Tim Tector was very impressive with the bat, and looked like it might have been back to back centuries for him. The Knights bowlers kept chipping away and almost pulled off the upset victory. Although it wasn't enough in the end as the Lightning squeeze out a two wicket win in front of their home fans. Tim Tector has been named the player of the match as his team pick up another 4 points for the win. This means that the Lighting have also brought up their team Fifty as that's their points total for the competition. With this being the last game of the season, the IP20 trophy has been brought out of storage and is about to be presented to the Lightning as they retain the title. They have been head and shoulders ahead of the other three teams and it's right that they get the chance to lift the trophy in front of their fans. It's been a great four weeks, and I hope that you've enjoyed our coverage here on ESPNCricinfo. It been great to be able to bring you all the action. There is going to be a little break before the remainer of the remainder of the IP50 games start again on the 13th of August. Hope that you can join me then. Until then this is Justin saying goodbye as the sun starts setting her in Dublin. Goodnight!
Hmmm, this is certainly getting interesting as Little walks in at number 10
