rocks back in the crease and hits the ball toward cover, the fielder somehow lets the ball through him and they run back for the second. Warriors win!
Reds vs Warriors, 1st Match at Cork, INTER-PRO, May 15 2023 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Warriors won by 6 wickets (with 65 balls remaining)
When Getkate came to the crease, the Warriors were in a bit of trouble at 45 for three, and it did feel that the game was in the balance.
An excellent 63 run partnership with Ani Chore seemed to the game away from the Reds. It was fitting then that Getkate was the one to hit the winning runs.
The Reds didn't take all their chances, and the dropped catches and missed stumping will be something that they will rue as they reflect on the match today.
The Warriors will be delighted to have picked up the four points for the win, and Shane Getkate has just been announced as player of the match which really was a Captain's performance.
Well that rounds off our commentary for the day, it's been a great day here down in Cork, and tomorrow we head Dublin when the Leinster Lightning take on the Northern Knights in Pembroke. Hopefully you'll join me then.
Until then, this is Justin Smyth saying goodbye from the Mardyke.
looks to guide the ball past backward point, Kane is still flying around out there and makes another tumbling stop to his left
much better connection this time, powers the ball back down past the bowler. 2 runs needed for the win
steps out of the crease and looks to force the issues, doesn't get a good connection with the bat and it dribbles up to mid-on
leans back in the crease and hits the ball out to the cover sweeper
on the front foot, and defends back towards the bowler. Looks like the Warriors are trying to do this in singles
gets the angle wrong and swings the ball down the legside
good length ball, Getkate steps forward and plays the ball up to mid-on
driven into the ground, the fielder at cover stops the ball and throws it in the air. You got to love a crowd catch, didn't fool anyone though...
blocks the ball into the legside, Moor runs out to field
faster ball from White, cuts the ball and can't beat short third
cuts the ball behind square on the off-side, turns quickly for a second
takes a large stride forward and defends to the bowler
plays with the spin and hits the ball to deep point
White returns with 11 runs needed
ball keeps a little low and the batter ends up playing over the top of the ball as he looks to cut the ball
Melly shuffles out of the crease and meets the ball on the full, crashes the ball back over the bowlers head and the fielders don't bother chasing after the ball
stays still in the crease and pushes the ball back up to mid-on
this time Melly does manage to cut the ball past a diving Kane at backward point, doesn't run all the way to the boundary
manages to get some bat on this one, chops the ball down into the ground and cover fields
the ball skids on a little as it passes the batter, Melly misses with the cut shot
