Toss: North West Warriors have won the Toss and put the Knights in to bat. The Warriors are winless after their three festival games last week while the Knights will hope to add to their two wins against today's opponents and the Munster Reds. Ross Adair to face Ryan Macbeth: dot, wide, Wicket! Great start for Macbeth as Adair has his middle stump knocked back. A wicket for skipper Andy McBrine as Egan holes out off the final delivery of his first over. Knights 59/2 at the half way stage not finding it easy on a pitch with quite a bit on offer to the bowlers, not surprising really given the weather in recent weeks. Third wicket falls when Cade Carmichael carves a 'wide' from Getkate to the sweeper on the cover boundary and a second in the over as Rock backs away and the faintest of touches by the ball on the off stump is just enough for the bails to fall. Left handed Ben Calitz backs away, tries to cut Scott Macbeth off the stumps, and is bowled. McCollum brings up a vital fifty off 53 (5x4), and there is just time for a spectacular cameo from Ruhan Pretorius who blasts 38* off 17 balls (4x4, 2x6) to set the Warriors a target of 150. Doheny gone, 4 off 14, a catch to wide third man off Matty Foster and a wicket for Tyron Koen in his first over as Roulston leaves his leg stump exposed. Slow going for the Warriors who are 44/2 at the half way stage 10 an over required in the second ten plus a few more. Jared Wilson ticking along goes for the reverse sweep of Humphreys and is bowled. Scott Macbeth launches Koen for consecutive maximums, 15 off the over. More of the same required. Brain fade, and Macbeth is bowled by Humphreys, like Wilson missing a reverse sweep! Hilton caught by the cover boundary sweeper, a second wicket for Foster, Getkate and Melly with it all to do. And they've somehow got it down to 14 required off the final over bowled by Tyron Koen. Here we go - 2, 2, 4, 4, 4 All over with a ball to spare - the Warriors have scored 108 off the second 10 overs to snatch it. Cameron Melly with 37 off 16 the hero in the end.

After the long delay Munster Reds were asked to bat by the Warriors in what had become a five over game. Helter skelter stuff as Munster made 57 for 3 with cameos from Curtis Campher (20), Tyrone Kane (16), PJ Moor (12) and Gareth Delany (8*). Craig Young's two overs went for 28, while Hume's brace cost 14 - the same as Ryan Macbeth's solitary over. Only needing three bowlers, you feel the Warriors missed a trick by dropping opener Liam Doherty. They promoted Jared Wilson but he went second ball, one of four wickets for Curtis Campher (4-15), while Josh Manley took 3 for 12 as the NW never threatened at any stage - ending on 37 for 7. A terrible three days for Boyd Rankin's side and plenty to ponder as they make the journey up the motorway. For Jeremy Bray's Munster Reds, welcome points and possible something to build upon.

Knights put into bat by Lightning and they lose Ross Adair first ball as he drives McCarthy to Harry Tector at mid-off. McCarty has his second as Stirling edges drive to Lorcan Tucker - big wicket. Champagne moment as James McCollum is brilliant caught by a diving Reuben Wilson at third man. Full length running to his right. Cade Carmichael going well and Neil Rock has been positive thus far. Cade Carmichael reached his 50 runs in 31 balls, (5x4, 3x6). Reuben Wilson breaks the stand on 84 as Rock departs. Mark Adair continuing where he left off yesterday as he makes a dent in Barry McCarthy's figures. But 'Sparky's' fun ends as George Dockrell gets him second ball. Good total of 191 with excellent unbeaten 74 from Carmichael. Strong Lightning batting line-up though - will be a test for them. They are passing the test with flying colours so far as Andy Balbirnie and Tim Tector take the opening stand to 67 in 6 overs of the powerplay. Tom Mayes gets much needed breakthrough as Balbirnie caught in the deep by Ross Adair. Matthew Humphreys is welcomed into the attack by back-to-back sixes from Tim Tector - 18 off the over. 100 up in the 9th over as Lorcan Tucker thumps one over the wall. Lightning cruising. Tim Tector the star so far - excellent knock. Finally ended on 69 by Mark Adair - 36 balls with 6 fours and 5 sixes. Two wickets in an over for Tom Mayes (3-38) as he accounts for Tucker and Harbinson. Lightning trying hard to get the bonus point but looks as if they will just fall short of that aim. Five wickets win by the hosts and fully deserved. Made light work of a tough target and cruised to the win with 17 balls to spare.

The Munster attack put to the sword as Knights rack up 224 for 5 - the fifth highest total in the T20 Trophy. Paul Stirling top-scored with 76 from 49 balls (8 fours, 4 sixes) adding 90 in 11 overs with James McCollum (40). Skipper Mark Adair provided the late fireworks with an unbeaten 44 from just 11 balls - four of his six sixes coming off the first four balls of the 19th over bowled by Liam McCarthy. Chase starts badly with Moor, Kruger, and Campher all out in first five overs. And gets even worse as four more wickets fall by the midway point. A mauling. Bit of pride restored in an 8th wicket stand of 67 between John McNally and Josh Manley but too little, too late. Final margin of victory is 99 runs for the defendung champions.

Andrew Balbirnie's powerful unbeaten 81 led Leinster Lightning to another bonus point win, as they chased 148 to beat NW Warriors by seven wickets inside 13 overs. Any hopes that the NW had after Graham Hume dismissed Tim Tector in the first over of the reply quickly evaporated as Balbirnie and fellow international Lorcan Tucker put the beleaguered attack to the sword. The pair know their home conditions at Sydney Parade so well and had combined to share a second wicket stand of 113 in just 10.2 overs to make light of their target. Balbirnie hit seven fours and cleared the wall/ropes six times in his 44-ball knock, while Tucker's 44 from 25 balls included 4 fours and three maximums.Tucker was dismissed with 25 needed but it was over nine balls later as Harry Tector (12*) and Balbirnie wasted no time in securing the additional point.It had all looked so different as Jared Wilson's whirlwind 39 from 17 deliveries (4 fours, 3 sixes), together with 21 from Liam Doherty had seen Boyd Rankin's side race to 69 for 1 in the powerplay. Lightning skipper George Dockrell dismissed Wilson with his first ball on his way to 3 for 21 as he and Amish Sidhu (1-16) applied the brakes. Scott Macbeth (21*) added late runs, but a final total of 148 for 6 proved woefully inadequate as the Warriors attack was ruthlessly torn apart. The Warriors and Munster Reds play in the morning match on Friday, both hoping to get their first points after two bitterly disappointing days.

Leinster Lightning won the toss and their decision to bowl first vindicated as Barry McCarthy takes the wickets of Bandon Kruger, Jordan Neill and Curtis Campher. Gets worse as Moor spoons leading edge to Harry Tector at mid-off to give Wilson his first wicket. Munster struggling. and it gets worse as Frost top edges a sweep off Hoey to Wilson at short fine-leg. 47 for 5 at 10 over mark. Hopes of any sort of a decent total depending on Gareth Delany and John McNally. Stand of 57 is broken by Dockrell, as McNally slaps one to cover. Gareth Delany takes 21 off the 17th over as Munster battle back. Fionn Hand though gets Delany who hits to deep cover. Fourth for McCarthy as Manley edges a wide one behind, and fifth next ball as Mike Frost pulls tamely to Wilson at midwicket. His 5-3 the best figures in the T20 format. 134 the final total. Shouldn't be enough. But an early wicket as Balbirnie goes for 2 - Manley with the wicket. And it's Manley again who gets the second - great nip backer that skittles Tucker. Tim Tector playing fluently - five boundaries in his 37 so far, dominating the half century stand with elder sibling Harry. But it's Harry who now takes up the attack and it's 87 for 2 at the 10 over mark. Harry continues to power on as back-to-back sixes sees the 100 up and they will be looking for a bonus point now. Stand ends on 88 as HT caught at wide long-on. Just 26 needed. Tim brings up his 50 - 38 balls with 7 fours. 4th wicket as Harbinson picks out McNally at deep midwicket from a long-hop. All academic at this late juncture. Skipper George Dockrell hits a six and two fours to complete an emphatic 6 wickets win. All set up by Barry McCarthy's record haul and then a match winning stand by the Tector brothers. A bonus point win for Andre Botha'a side.

Poor start by the Warriors who lose three wickets in the powerplay. Stephen Doheny, Liam Doherty, Jared Wilson all gone. And it gets worse as Shane Getkate edges Humphries behind. Tom Mayes and ruhan Pretorius with the earlier wickets. Debutant Kian Hilton and Andy McBrine in the middle attempting a salvage operation. 51/4 at the midway point. Second wicket for Humphries as he bowls Kian Hilton for decent 22 - went back to quicker one. McBrine gone for 14, but Scott Macbeth doing well and he has raced to 36. Kiss of death as he hits Foster to deep midwicket where Egan takes good catch. Mark Adair full toss traps Hume lbw, then Tom Mayes has Young and McKeegan caught in the deep to end with four wickets. A total of 119 looks weak. Fast start by Knights checked by Craig Young who has Ross Adair caught by Getkate. Paul Stirling finding it all too easy and he has strolled to 42 not out approaching half-way. Knights on course for a bonus point win. James McCollum lbw to Trent McKeegan but it's all very low key. 50 for Stirling - 35 balls with 4 fours and 4 sixes. Cade Carmichael and Neil Rock both clear the boundary to ensure the bonus point win.
