Match Details:

The 2nd match of the Cricket Ireland Inter-Provincial Limited Over Cup will be played between the Northern Knights and the North-West Warriors at the Bready Cricket Club, Bready.

The match is scheduled to start at 10:15 AM local time (02:45 PM IST) (09:15 AM UTC).

Preview:

With the T20 series done and dusted, Northern Knights finished in second place. They will look to maintain the momentum that they have secured over the past couple of weeks. With the first game washed out against the same opponents, Northern Knights will look to get off on a flying start.

The North-West Warriors will be looking to make a statement in this game, having finished last in the T20 league. The change in format, however, might prove to be a welcome change for them. They will look to start their 50-over campaign on a positive note.
