and there it is! Matt Ford is onto the front foot, cuts the ball through backward point and there is no one in the deep to stop it. The Reds win!
NW Warriors vs Reds, 4th Match at Dublin, PRO T20, Jun 19 2021 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Reds won by 6 wickets (with 17 balls remaining)
What a day for the Underdog this has been. Both teams that lost yesterday won today, both teams that won yesterday lost today. T20 cricket eh?
The Reds marshalled the chase perfectly, never panicking after losing a wicket and had solid contributions all down the order.
Commins may have fallen just before another deserved fifty, the Ford brothers came together and hit the boundary when they needed it. A six wicket win with 17 balls to spare shows how well they played.
Matt Ford hit the winning run and has just been announced as the player of the match. Well done to him and the Reds who pick up their first win of the season.
With the Reds picking up four points for the win, all the teams are in the same position as they started the day. Only one point separating the four teams, what will tomorrow bring?
Only one way to find out, please join me tomorrow for the final days play from Pembroke. This is Justin saying goodnight.
it's a short ball, Greg goes hard at it, goes flying towards the third man boundary. There is a fielder down there, he sticks up one hand and it's just out of his reach
much fuller ball, guides it out to point
its too short from Wilson, sits up at a nice height and Greg pulls the ball over the legside boundary
slower ball, stands up tall in the crease and blocks the ball back towards the bowler
works the ball through square leg for another single
outside off-stump, cuts the ball flat over over point boundary. What a lovely shot
driven into the covers
mis-times the pull, lands just to the left of mid-wicket
defends into the covers
slices the ball through backward point, runs away for a valuable boundary
hits the ball to deep extra cover, comes back quickly for the second
through covers
reaches forward and can't force the ball past extra cover.
fuller ball from Allen, can only block the ball to mid-wicket
its in the slot, Ford slog sweeps the ball high over the mid-wicket boundary. Looks like it's gone into someone's garden and it's time for another new ball
driven to extra cover
short ball, pulled towards deep mid-wicket. Bounces twice before getting to the fielder
hits the ball to long-off
Allen comes on for the 15th over
Matt goes back in the crease and looks to defend the ball, takes an inside edge and runs down to long leg. That must have been close to the stumps because Young just stands there with his head in his hands
