Comprehensive win in the end by the Lightning. The Warriors needed to get off to a positive start and lost too many wickets early.

A 42 run seventh wicket partnership was never going to be enough and with only three batsmen getting into double figures was never going to propel the Warriors to victory.

So a 56 run win to start for the reigning champions. Four points for the win and they get a nice little bonus point too. So thanks for following the commentary today. Its goodnight from a sunlit Bready.
