Leinster vs Knights, 2nd Match at Dublin, INTER PRO, May 04 2021 - Ball by Ball Commentary
McCollum isn't able to bat so that Lightning have won the game.
JA McCollum absent hurt 0 (0b 0x4 0x6)
Once again the Lightning winning machine keeps rolling on, after reducing the Knights to 40 for 3, it was always going to be a struggle to chase down that target.
Once the rain delay came, the target and reduced overs didn't help. Neither did McCollum getting injured at the beginning of the Lightning innings wouldn't have been the ideal.
It has been an ideal four days for the Lightning. Two wins from two, include a bonus point today, means that they are clear at the top of the table.
The Lightning's unbeaten run keeps rumbling on.
