and it's all over! O'Brien hits the ball powerfully over cow corner and yet another ball is lost out of the ground. Reds win
Leinster vs Reds, 2nd Match at Comber, PRO T20, May 27 2022 - Match Result
Reds won by 6 wickets (with 32 balls remaining)
What a display of power hitting we have witnessed here today. 189 looked a tough total to chase at the half-way mark, but the Reds chased it with ease.
After losing Moor and Commins early, Delany, Kane and O'Brien took this international bowling attack apart to win the game with 32 balls to spare.
The Reds could have easily chased 250+ on this wicket. Wow.
Tyrone Kane has just been named the player of the match, which was well deserved. The Reds will also be delighted that they managed to chase this down so quickly and pick up a bonus point too
The Reds move to the top of the table, one point ahead of the Warriors. What a cracking first day, I can't wait to see what the next two days bring.
