With that the rain that has been threatening to come down for a while finally decides to fall. The covers are raced out by the groundstaff once again. The Lightning are 40 runs ahead on DLS at this point, although if we do manage to get out there again, the target will be adjusted... Match State: Delay - Rain 2:28pm Tne rain is coming down even harder now and we've reached a point where the Lightning have already scored more runs then they would have needed too at this point, which means that the Lightning have won the match and clinched the title. It's been a very impressive batting display as the Lightning came out positively and took the game away from the Warriors. Harry Tector's 59 off only 29 balls was key to the innings, to put his team well ahead on the DLS. 40 runs on DLS is the margin of the victory and that means that the Lightning complete the double this season and will be heading back to Dublin with another trophy. Andy Balbirnie has just been named the player of the match for his excellent Century in the Warriors Innings. Although sadly for his team that's the only thing that the Warriors will be happy about today. That's the end of the play in the first match today. Hopefully you'll be able to join me later this afternoon as the Knights take on the Lightning (Weather permitting of course). Until then this is Justin saying goodbye from Lisburn.
