yorker from Adair, McCarthy jabs the bat down on the ball and jogs down the other end. The Knights win!
Knights vs Leinster, 3rd Match at Dublin, PRO T20, Jun 19 2021 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Wow what a chance a day makes? Regular wickets for the Knights meant that the Lightning couldn't build up any momentum with the bat.
Balbirnie top scored with 42 but the rest of the top and middle order fell around him. The Lightning just couldn't seem to cope with the Knights spinners, Ben White ending up with three wickets
McCarthy and Little blasted away at the end, which meant that they stopped the Knights from claiming the bonus point, a ninth wicket stand of 51 always comes in handy.
Ross Adair has just been named player of the match for his quickfire 21 and two wickets.
This is the second time this year that the Knights have beaten the Lightning, are they becoming the Lightning's Kryponite? Guess we will find out again when they play next weekend at Bready!
Knights pick up four points for the win and move into third place in the table.
Thanks for follow along the commentary today, don't go too far as it's only 90 minutes until the next game of the day. Until then, this is Justin saying bye from Pembroke
Last ball
fends the ball to point
150 up for the Lightning
reaches out and gets a little edge past the keeper
hits a full toss towards the cover sweeper, the fielder does go for the catch, didn't want to let the ball get past him
pulls the ball to deep mid-wicket, White runs in off the boundary to field
can't get under the ball and hits it up to long-on
wide down the legside will help, only the 32 needed now....
Final over and they need 33 for the win
When you can hit the ball as cleanly as this, why try the trick shots? Pulls the ball towards the square leg boundary, Little's third boundary of the over.
Little looks to reserve ramp the ball over the keeper, it's a little too full for that shot, misses and it goes through to the keeper
too short and Little pulls the ball again towards the long-on boundary, bounces once before going over the rope
Little clears the front leg and hits the ball over the long-on boundary, the Lightning need a few more of them
clips the ball down to long-leg
clips the pad and goes down the legside, Rock moves to his left and stops the ball
Lightning need 48 off the last two overs. Could be an exciting finish
hits the ball in the air towards long-on, Tector runs in off the boundary and stops the ball
clips the ball to deep mid-wicket, Adair runs in off the boundary to field
works the ball to point
full toss from White and McCarthy hits it back over the bowlers head, clears the sightscreen too. Lovely timing
reverse sweep, can't get it past the fielder on the fine leg boundary
thin edge past the keeper and it runs away fine to the boundary
hit into the covers
