That's it from us from today's game. Thanks for tuning in. On behalf of Abhimanyu Bose and Binoy George, this is Ashish Pant signing off. Have a good night.
Alex Hales is named Player of the Match for his 83 not out off 52 balls: Really good, awesome start to the tournament. We bowled really well to restrict them to 145. Just wanted to be busy, tried to use my feet. Luckily it worked. Naveen is a tricky customer, so is Woakesy. We just wanted to be busy, play good shots. We were lucky there was not a lot of scoreboard pressure. It is has been an enjoyable year - 2022.
Here's the winning captain, Colin Munro : Great start, we were strong with the new ball and the intensity in the field was great. It was tough to leave out Mark Watt, but Gus came in and did the job. We have a great experience around the group. I take the easy way out and let them do their job. Hales and Billings were outstanding. I was a bit taken back to be asked to captain. It is about building the environment and I think I did that. It is all about learning going in. The coaches have been great with us.
First up, Moeen Ali, the Warriors captain: We did not score enough runs. The wicket wasn't as easy as they made it look. The dew did come into play. You want to be positive and let the guys express yourselves. The wickets have done us in a little bit. We have to go hard, and if we are not, we shouldn't. Our spinners will have a role in Sharjah in two days. We have good guys and good coaching staff, it is just about not getting too disappointed and losing confidence.
9.24pm Time for presentation.
9.17pm Vipers create a template on how to chase a middling T20 total. And, it was Alex Hales leading the way all through. Vipers had a rocky start to their chase losing Rohan Mustafa and Colin Munro in the first two overs. But Hales and Sam Billings took the game forward. They started sedately but kept the scoreboard ticking. The duo added 128 runs for the third wicket off 85 balls. Hales remained unbeaten on 85 off 52 balls, while Billings fell just short of the finishing line on 49. In the end, it turned out to be an easy chase for Vipers, and they enter the points table on fourth position. Warriors after their second straight loss have a lot to think about going forward.
