what a way to win the game!, Adair bends his back and ramps the ball over the keeper. The ball runs away to the fine third man boundary
Reds vs Knights, 17th Match at Comber, PRO T20, Sep 19 2021 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Knights won by 9 wickets (with 14 balls remaining)
Easy win in the end for the Knights and they have Ross Adair to thank for it. A magnificent 50 off only 25 balls was the backbone of their innings.
None of the Reds bowlers could build any pressure, there was always a boundary ball just around the corner.
The speed of the victory means that they pick up a bonus point which moves them top of the IP20 table. Not sure that they are going to stay there.
You won't be surprised to know that Ross Adair has been player of the match. Well deserved.
The Reds finish bottom of the table.
Thanks for following along today. Not going to be long until the final game of the season starts, hopefully you'll be able to join me to find out who is going to take the trophy home. Until then this is Justin Smyth saying goodbye from Comber.
