Desert Vipers win by six wickets and move up to the second position on the points table. It's been a clinical and a comfortable run-chase orchestrated by Colin Munro and Azam Khan. The target of 160 proved short on this wicket, and the early wobble for Giants didn't allow them to post an above-par score. Muzarabani was superb, though, and stood out for Giants but didn't receive much support from his teammates. Does this win harbinger peaking just at the right time for Vipers? The big names stepped up to the plate today and they'd hope to carry the winning momentum. Well, the second game of the double-header is about to get underway, Dubai Capitals will be bowling first against Knight Riders in Abu Dhabi. You can follow the match here
