Warriors fail to bat out the 20 overs, and are all out for 119. Scott MacBeth ended up top scoring with 37 off only 23 balls, although there wasn't much more support from the rest of the Warriors. Mayes ended up with four wickets, and everyone that bowled picked up atleast one. Means that the Knights will need a run a ball to start their season off in style.
