It's been a wonderful display of hitting from Lorcan Tucker today. His unbeaten 60 off only 26 balls, meant that the home team have raced to the target.
The Warriors would have been happy to get Tector for a duck, although that was the only thing in the Innings that did go right for them, as the ball was dispatched to all parts of the ground.
This huge win means that the Lightning pick up five points for the win, and their lead at the top of the table grows and grows.
Warriors have been poor today, and will hope to put up a much better performance when these two teams meet again tomorrow in the IP50.
It was a tough choice for player of the match, but Lorcan Tucker has got the honours for his blistering Innings.
Thanks for following along today, I'll be back again tomorrow as these two teams face off again. Until then, this is Justin saying goodnight from Pembroke.
