Three sixes in the last four balls have taken the Reds to an improbably victory. Defending 18 off the final over, and the first two balls being dots, the Warriors will be wondering how they have lost this.
Liam McCarthy's quick fire 29 off the 12 balls means that the Reds pick up four points in a 2 wicket win, showing once again that's it's never over until it's over....
Reds pick up four points for the win and will have a good feeling as they travel back home this evening. Moving onto the same points total as their opponents today.
You'll be unsurpised to hear that Liam McCarthy has just been named the player of the match. It couldn't have been anyone else really could it?
Thanks for following along today. The final game of the festival starts at 3:45pm, as the Knights play against the Lightning. Please join me then.
This is Justin saying goodbye for now
