back to back boundaries take the Lightning to the win. Lynch is up on his toes and pulls the ball over the mid-wicket fielder and that's the win

Full commentary
It might have been a bit of a grind to get there, although in the end it's a comfortable win for the Lightning. Doing so in enough time to pick up a bonus point and go clear at the top of the table.
When De Freitas and Tucker came together, they built a steady partnership of 42 which meant that the Reds couldn't capitalise on their early breakthrough's. Showing how below par the Reds were in their Innings
Barry McCarthy has been named the player of the match after his excellent open spell of bowling. Helping the Lightning to their third bonus point win in a row in the IP20 Trophy.
It's been another great day of cricket here in Stormont, and the great news is that we will be back tomorrow and Thursday for some more. Please join me then
