Ross Adair took holders CIYMS into the T20 Cup final yesterday with an undefeated 59 to beat Instonians.

The Ireland international, who faced just 40 balls and hit six fours and three sixes, was actually outscored by Shane Getakte whose 72, also from 40 balls, included seven fours and five sixes, but CI passed Instonians’ 116 for seven with seven balls to spare.

They will meet Waringstown in the final on July 23.

On a rain-interrupted day, the first semi-final was cut short halfway through Lisburn’s reply to Waringstown’s 148 for eight, but having just lost five wickets for four runs when the game was halted, they were 13 runs short of the DLS par score.
