McKeegan's fun finally ends! HIts the ball down the ground and doesn't get enough power into the shot to clear the fielder at mid-on. Harbison jumps up and gets two hands on the ball to catch it and the Lightning win
Leinster vs Warriors, 7th Match at Milverton, INTER-PRO, Aug 14 2023 - Match Result
The Lightning will have been delighted with their performance today. Bowling the Warriors out for 181 at the end of the 28th over, showed how dominating they were today.
Doherty topscorced for the Warriors with 30, and even though 9 of their batters made it into double figures, they were never really in the chase.
Simi Singh ended up as the top wicket taker with four wickets, although all of the Lightning bowlers impressed.
On a day that records were broken, we also had the biggest margin of victory in the IP50, a massive 244 runs. Built on the back of that magnificent century from Lorcan Tucker, who has rightly been named the player of the match.
The Lightning pick up five points for the win and go to the top of the table on Net Run Rate.
You won't have to wait too long for some more IP50 action as tomorrow the Norther Knights head down to Cork to take on the Munster Reds' I hope that you enjoyed the game today and you'll be able to join me tomorrow.
Until then, this is Justin saying goodbye from The Hills.
