The Lightning have raced to their target in just over 21 overs, built off the back of an excellent half-century from Andy Balbirnie. The Warriors bowlers just couldn't take those early wickets that they needed to put pressure on the Lightning. It was right that Balbirnie had the chance to finish the Innings just before the official lunch break The Lightning came into the game knowing that they needed a bonus point win to keep their championship hopes alive and that's exactly what they did. Five points for the win and a healthy boost to their run rate. Means that it's all to play for as we head into the final round of games. It's just been announced that Hoey is the player of the match, with a couple of catches to go along with his four wickets. Congratulations to him. Thanks for follow along thes last couple of days, this is Justin saying good bye from Dublin.
