Full commentary
It was probably fitting that Harry Tector took the final wicket of the match to seal another bonus point win for the Lightning.
It did feel that there total was a little below par at the half-way stage although they bowled very well, taking wickets and making sure that they held onto their catches.
A 32 run wins means that they pick up another bonus point and move 11 points clear at the top of the table. Can anyone stop this team?
Harry Tector has just been named the player of the match
Well, that's all that she wrote for the second IP20 festival. It's been a great three days here in Stormont and I hope that you've enjoyed the six games that we've brought to you
The great news is that we are going to be back again next week, as all the teams head to Bready for the third festival of 2025. First game starts at 10:45am on Tuesday
Until then, this is Justin saying goodbye for now
