Preview:
As the Ireland Inter-Provincial tournament moves ahead, we will witness Leinster Lightning squaring off against Munster Reds on Thursday. This will be the first time in this competition that these two teams will come head to head against each other. Leinster Lightning started their season with two wins, against Northern Knights and North West Warriors, after which they slipped to a defeat in their previous match.
On the other hand, we have Munster Reds who have played only one match in this tournament yet. They lost that match by five wickets against North West Warriors. They would be seeking their first points in this competition, while there would be an attempt from Lightning to get back to winning ways.
