Pitch Report

This pitch is slightly dry, so there will be less seam movement. It's well rolled in. It might help the ball grip a bit. Should be a good contest between bat and ball.

Commentary

That is all then from the action here. Vipers go 3 in 3 and strengthen their position at the top of the table. We have games coming thick and fast from all around the world. Here's where you can follow the SA20 action where rain is threatening to play spoilsport. From here, this is Sourabh signing off on behalf of Bidipto and the entire team. Good night!

Fakhar Zaman (Player Of The Match): I think the fast bowlers were easy but we were struggling to play the spinners to be very honest. We planned to play their overs, to take it deep. The bowlers were bowling really good and the leg side boundary was very big, I was not going there and targeted the short side. It was really good (his partnership with Curran), he batted really well and even though I was the set batter he took the pressure off me. The way he has been batting in this tournament has been brilliant. No (if the heart rate was up towards the end), the management and team just wants us to olay good cricket and we are doing that.

Lockie Ferguson (Desert Vipers captain): It was a strong MI Emirates side that we beat, so yes, we're happy! Collectively, different guys are standing up. Fakhar Zaman and Sam Curran were excellent with the bat. Dan Lawrence with those overs of his helped us immensely. The batters worked out the conditions really well. I was always confident of our boys getting the job done at the halfway stage.

Nicholas Pooran (MI Emirates' captain): Felt like we were in the game, it was a decent total, 160 was par but then the dew came in too in the second half. Credit goes to Fakhar and Sam, they got two big overs in the middle and made the difference. But that is okay. Definitely batting (areas to improve), try to get more wickets in the powerplay and keep improving. He (Pollard) has been hitting sixes since the start.

Time for the post-match presentations

22:02 Local Time (23:32 IST): Desert Vipers beat MI Emirates by 5 wickets and extend their unbeaten streak

Fakhar Zaman 67(52) | Lockie Ferguson 2/25(4)
Kieron Pollard 36(23) | Zahoor Khan 2/24(3)

A comfortable win in the end, much more comfortable than the scoreboard would suggest, and Desert Vipers continue their reign at the top of the points table, this win being the third win for them on the trot in as many matches.

The run chase of 160 was completed in pretty clinical way by the Vipers barring a little period in the middle when they lost 3 wickets for 9 runs in 3 overs. The openers, Fakhar and Hales, did exactly what the openers are supposed to do in a 160-chase. Gave the team a fifty-plus stand in the powerplay.

However, things did get tricky when spin was introduced in the 8th over in the form of Salamkheil. He undid Hales with a ripper and then a couple of wickets were taken from the other end by part-timer Mousley as the Vipers went from 62/0 in 7 overs to 71/3 in the 11th.

Fakhar Zaman saw it all from the other end and then found an able partner in Sam Curran and the duo took matters in their own hands. They stitched a 65-run partnership in 41 balls laced with some terrific shots and pretty much sealed the game for the Vipers.

Even though both of them got out towards the end to Zahoor Khan, they had done enough as Rutherford sealed the game.

19.1 Allah Ghazanfar to Sherfane Rutherford, round the wicket, THAT DOES IT FOR THE MATCH! DESER VIPERS WIN THREE MATCHES IN A ROW! Dragged down on middle-and-leg. Rutherford, in this kind of touch, was not missing out on that! He went deep in his crease, swiveled on the back foot and powered it away over deep backward square-leg for a maximum to end the game in style!

Allah Ghazanfar [2.0-0-17-0] to bowl the final over

Good over from Zahoor, he did all he could but Vipers should win this now. 5 runs needed off the final over

18.6 Zahoor Khan to Sherfane Rutherford, low full toss on off-stump. Worked off the pads down to deep mid-wicket for a single to keep the strike.

That is top-stuff from Rutherford, how cool of him to get that wide yorker away for four. Could be the telling blow!

18.5 Zahoor Khan to Sherfane Rutherford, FOUR IMPORTANT RUNS! FOUR INTELLIGENT RUNS! Yorker-length again around off-stump. Brilliantly squirted down to the right of the short third man fielder with the opening of the bat face!

18.4 Zahoor Khan to Wanindu Hasaranga, into the block hole again, on the leg-stump line. Drilled out from the back foot down to long-on for one.

18.3 Zahoor Khan to Sherfane Rutherford, yorker again around off-stump. Squeezed out to the cover area from the slight forward press for a single only.

18.2 Zahoor Khan to Wanindu Hasaranga, over the wicket, attempted yorker turned low full toss on leg-stump. Punched down to long-on for a single to open his account.

Wanindu Hasaranga, RHB, walks out

Zahoor gets another, two big wickets for him now. There is still life left in this contest, Curran goes trying to finish it early.

18.1 Zahoor Khan to Sam Curran, POLLARD TAKES THE CATCH! ZAHOOR GETS ANOTHER ONE! Full on off-and-middle. Curran wanted to power it over the rope by getting in line and went through with his shot. But he mistimed it and found long-on perfectly! The fielder there was not dropping that one!

Sam Curran c Kieron Pollard b Zahoor Khan 28(23b, 1x4, 1x6).

Farooqi is done for the night, a rough day in the office for him for a change. 13 needed off 12 now, Vipers might not want to take it to the final over.
