short ball, Carmichael helps it down the legside and the ball runs away to the boundary. The Knights win!
Warriors vs Knights, 2nd Match at Dublin, INTER-PRO T20, May 01 2024 - Match Result
Knights won by 7 wickets (with 35 balls remaining)
At the halfway stage it didn't look that the Warriors 119 was going to be enough, and so it proved with the Knights chasing down the target one ball into the 15th over.
The class of Paul Stirling, Ireland's White ball Captain, shined through and his 59 off only 43 balls included the ball being hit to all parts of the ground.
The Warriors bowlers couldn't build any pressure on the batters, and by chasing down the target so quickly, the Knights pick up a precious bonus point and go to the top of the table. 0.021 ahead of the Leinster Lightning on run rate!
Stirling has just been named as player of the match
Two dominating wins today on the first day of the 2024 interpro IP20’s. The great news is that tomorrow we are back again for another 2 gaes
I hope that you can join me then. Until then, I hope that you enjoyed the matches today, and hopefully you’ll be able to join me tomorrow. This is Justin Smyth saying goodnight!

full ball again from McKeegan, cramps Carmichael for room. Brings the bat down on top of the ball and forces it towards extra cover
