It was a short Reds innings, although there was a lot packed into it. Ali Frost got the Innings off to a great start, but after that they found it hard to find the boundary.
Canny bowling from McBrine bogged the chase down, and as the Reds batters knew that they needed to take more risks, the wickets started to tumble
There was only 3 boundaries in the final 4 overs, which meant that the required rate kept going higher and higher. Giving the Warriors a 13 run DLS win in the end with a nice little bonus point to make the victory sweeter.
It was great that we were finally able to get a result in the middle, and it's just been announced that Gavin Roulston picks up the player of the match award, for his maiden t20 fifty.
Thanks for following along today, and I hope that you'll join me for the second of today's double header as the Knights take on the Lightning in Stormont, which starts at 3.30pm today. Until then, this is Justin saying goodbye for now.
