The Lightning have managed to chase down the Knights total with nearly three overs to spare.
Balbirnie played excellently right from the start and finished with a n excellent 71 off only 44 balls.
Supported well by his Captain in the end, who had the honor of finishing it off with a Six.
The Knights couldn't take regular wickets to slow down the Lightnings scoring rate.
With the win, the Lightning increase their lead on top of the IP20 table.
It wont be long though we are back again, next Friday for the next round of games in this competition. So Please join me then. Goodnight from Merrion.
