Match Details:

The 5th match of the Cricket Ireland Inter-Provincial Limited Over Cup 2020 will be played between the Northern Knights and Leinster Lightning at The Village, Dublin, Ireland.

The match is scheduled to start at 10:15 AM Local time (2:45 PM IST) (9:15 AM UTC).

Preview:

Leinster Lightning are in a good headspace at the moment. They are on a two match-winning streak in a series that has seen 2 washouts. The Lightning will now face the Northern Knights, a team that they have defeated already in this tournament. They have the title in their bag since they have 10 points from two games and now are up in a dead-rubber.

Northern Knights, however, will look to finish the series on a high. They will look to occupy the second place and will be playing for pride in this one. Any team that plays for its pride is a dangerous one, which is why this match-up promises to be a riveting one.

Kevin O’Brien is the leading run-scorer of the series with 95 runs from 2 innings. The right-handed batsman has been maintaining an average and a strike rate of 47.5 and 80, respectively.

Curtis Campher has been the best bowler, by far, in this series. Having played only a couple of games, he is already on 6 wickets and has been bowling beautifully at an economy of 4.38 and at an average of 13.16.

Ruhan Pretorius stroked a well-constructed fifty in his last game. He will be looking to convert that fifty into a century this time around.
