clips the ball through the square leg and jogs down the other end. Lightning win!
Warriors vs Leinster, 4th Match at Dublin, INTER-PRO T20, May 02 2024 - Match Result
Leinster won by 8 wickets (with 43 balls remaining)
What a batting display for the Lightning as they powered to an 8 wicket win. After losing Tim Tector early, a 113 second wicket partnership off only 11 overs broke the back of the chase
Balbirnie top scored with an excellent 81 off only 44 balls, finding some good form ahead of the International games against Pakistan at the end of the next week.
Once again the Warriors total just wasn't enough to put any pressure on the Lightning batters. By chasing down the total so quickly, they pick up a bonus point to join the Knights at the top of the table.
It won't surprise you to hear that Balbirnie has just been named the player of the match. Well deserved too.
That's the end of our coverage today. Two huge wins by the Knights and the Lightning. I hope that you can join me tomorrow as both teams will be facing off.

Finally the Warriors pick up a second wicket! Tucker hits the ball towards cow corner, it's anough power in the shot to clear the fielder and he takes the catch a few steps in from the boundary
Scott MacBeth gets the treatment as well off Tuckers bat. The ball travels with some speed off the bat and over long-on
