1:00Pm At the beginning of the day, the Strikers were in pole position to claim the victory and at the end of the day they reached their target with plenty of time to spare. The Raiders knew that their only chance was to take some early wickets, and even though Egan, Carmichael, Topping came and went. It was the two left-handers that steadied the ship to take their team home. Wilson was the pick of the bowlers this morning, but with so little runs to defend, it was always going to be tough for the Raiders to make a match of this. We've just heard from the match officials that Jake Egan has been named the player of the match, with 138 runs across his two Innings. Will it be enough to get him a place in the Ireland test squad? It gets announced at 11:10am tomorrow. It's been a great four days down here in Malahide, and a perfect way to start off the Men's domestic season here in Ireland. Hope that wets your appetite for the test match against New Zealand next week and the Interpros that are going to be starting the week after. All which you can follow live here on ESPNCricinfo. Until then that you for following along these last four days, it been great to bring you all the action from the middle. This is Justin Smyth saying goodbye from a Sunny Malahide.
