It's an impressive total for the Warriors, probably their best batting display this summer so far. Doheny set the base with his 84 off only 50 balls, which gave Melly and Wilson freedom to build on at the end. None of the Knights bowlers was spared punsihment, with Fosters four overs going for 57. It's a tough target for the Knights to chase. Please join me in 10 minutes to see if they can do it!
