Leinster Lightning needed to win inside 22.2 overs to claim the IP50 trophy on Nett Run Rate and duly delivered in emphatic style to complete another double success.

It didn't look that way in the early stages as Ross Adair launched a typical boundary blitz, hitting a 24-ball 57 (6 fours, 5 sixes) inside the powerplay as the visitors raced to 65 for 1.

Adair's dismissal though sparked a momentum shift as he became the first of four wickets for Fionn Hand.

James McCollum hit 6 fours in his 35, but there was little else on show as they were dismissed for 154 in 25 overs.

Melvin Deveraj (3-30) and Gavin Hoey (2-30) were also among the wickets.

Lightning knew their task and went about it with relish despite the run out of Tim Tector (2).

Andrew Balbirnie top-scored with an unbeaten 75 from 49 balls (12 fours, 2 sixes), adding 131 in 13 overs for the second wicket in 13 overs with Lorcan Tucker, who cleared the ropes 6 times in his 48-ball 72 not out.

They had plenty to spare in the 9 wicket win that meant they won the trophy for a record-extending 9th time.
