its all over! White gave the ball a little more air, Hand moved the front leg out of the way and hammered the ball over the long-off boundary to win the game
Knights vs Reds, 4th Match at Comber, PRO T20, May 28 2022 - Match Result
Reds won by 3 wickets (with 22 balls remaining)
Peter Moor has broken the record for most T20s (6) as captain for REDS, going past Jeremy Benton
Fionn Hand and Matt Ford's 37-run partnership is REDS's highest for the 8th wicket in T20s, breaking the record of 25 between Forrest and David Delany
What a brilliant game of cricket. At the half-way stage, no-one would have given the Knights a chance of making a game of it.
Yet a fantastic bowling display from a fired up Josh Manley and Thomas Mayes, gave the Reds a huge scare.
Matt Ford and Fionn Hand came together to steady the ship with an excellent 37 run eight wicket partnership. Fionn Hand has just been named the player of the match.
Knight should be proud of how they battled back in this game, but unfortunately they don't pick any points. The Reds will be delighted to pick up the four points and move one point clear at the top of the table.
The great news is the first match tomorrow morning sees the two unbeaten teams face off as the Reds take on the Warriors, that's a game that your not going to want to miss!
What a cracking couple of games of cricket we were providing with today. I can't wait to see what happens tomorrow! I hope that you'll be able to join me then, this is Justin Smyth saying goodbye from Comber
