Get Ball by Ball Commentary of Leinster Lightning vs Munster Reds, Cricket Ireland Inter-Provincial Twenty20 Trophy 2024, 8th Match

The Lightning make it four from four this season as they fight their way to another victory. Built off the back off Tector's excellent 65 off only 43 balls, with a little bit of big hitting in the end from Lynch. Manley ended up with three wickets for the Reds, although the Lightning batters always made sure the run rate was manageable, and when the big hit was needed, cleared the rope. Tim Tector has just been named the player of the match. The Lightning pick up four points for the win and extend their lead at the top of the table. Long way to go this season. Thanks for following along these last couple of days, hope that you've enjoyed it. The interpros are back next week, when we head to Bready. Hope that you can join me then. This is Justin saying goodbye from Pembroke.
