Get Ball by Ball Commentary of Northern Knights vs North-West Warriors, Cricket Ireland Inter-Provincial Twenty20 Trophy 2025, 7th Match

The Warriors will be delighted that the rain finally stopped, giving them the chance to win the game out on the field. The Knights had to come out to attack, and the Warriors just kept taking wickets. Davey ended up top scoring from number 10, although he was the only Knights player to make it into double figures Wilson ended up with 4 wickets off his 2 overs, and helped the Warriors to a 38 run win on DLS. Which means that they pick up a valuable bonus point to close the gap at the top of the table. Jared Wilson has just been named the player of the match. Congrats to him. Thanks for following along with the first match of the double header here today. The second game starts at 3:45pm as the Leinster Lightning take on the Munster Reds, please join me then. This is Justin saying goodbye for now.
