Getkate can only defend the ball back towards the bowler. McKeegan had set off from the non-strikers end, turns quickly and can't make it back behind the line as Dyer's through hits the stumps. Knights win!
Knights vs NW Warriors, 1st Match at Belfast, INTER-PRO, May 09 2024 - Match Result
Getkate is left at the other end unbeaten on 66, yet he simply didn't get any support from the rest of the team. Wilson was the next highest at 18.
Pretorius and Foster bowled beautifully at the beginning of the Innings, took regular wickets and didn't allow the Warriors to score many runs.
Falling to 21 for 5, means that the top order failed once again for the Warriors, not the best way to get the season started in the longer form of the game.
It's just been announced that Ruhan Pretorius has been named the player of the match for his alround display with bat and ball today.
118 runs is a huge margin of victory and the Knights pick up bonus point to sit proudly on the top of the table. Warriors have a lot of thinking to do on the way home
Next Wednesday we are back at Pembroke for the IP50 game between the Leinster Lightning and the Munster Reds. Hopefully you'll join us again for the games.
Tomorrow we see the start of the 3 match T20i series between Ireland and Pakistan. All games are going to be covered live on ESPNCricinfo, so hopefully you'll be following along.
Thanks for following along today, this is Justin saying goodnight from Stormont. Bye
