swings hard at the ball and its clipped down to long leg, the Warriors fielders don't even bother chasing after the ball as they win!
NW Warriors vs Knights, 5th Match at Belfast, May 27 2019 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Well what an end to the match we had, almost makes up for the 2 hours that we wasted in the middle!
After making most of the effort to get the game going again, the Knights looked to have the chase under control with both Wilson and Tector in full flow.
Yet once the Warriors managed to get the breakthrough, it was a steady stream of Knights players looking to hit big and getting caught in the deep.
Yet the Warriors kept to their task, trusted in their youthful bowlers and took their chances well.
Kennedy was the pick of the bowlers, with his four overs only going for 17 runs.
All of the bowlers contributed and the helped their team claim the victory that no-one expected at the start of the day.
Maybe its going to be hard for the more established Warriors to get back in the team now?
So the Warriors pick up their first win of the season and claim the four points for the win.
Maybe the real winners of the day is the Leinster Lightning?
So thanks for following the commentary today, tomorrow sees the start of the IP Championship as these two teams will be facing each other at North Down.
So please join me then, this is Justin saying goodnight from Stormont.

slower ball, clipped out to deep square leg. They decide against the second. Wilson keeps the strike and Kennedy bowled out
