- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.5 Russell has the last laugh! Slightly over-ambitious from Mustafa I feel. Was looking to go every ball, instead of watching a touch. Russell bring his experience into play as he rolls his fingers on the length ball outside off. Mustafa backs away and is way too early into his shot. Ends up spooning a simple catch to extra cover. 8/119.6 Hales is run out of the last ball of the innings! Doesn't change the fact that this is one of the top innings you will see in the format. Low full toss on off, he mistimes it to deep midwicket. He had to go for the second, and is caught short by a distance. Ends a stunning 110 off 59 balls. 219/416.4 Big boundary square of the wicket and Munro can't clear deep midwicket. Slower short of a length ball, shoulder-high. Munro gets on the pull, gets a decent enough connection, but the large boundary and the fact that he is hitting against the wind goes against him. Can only find Akeal, who takes it reverse-cupped. 172/218.3 Slower length ball outside off. He looks to lay into it again over deep midwicket, gets it on the high part of the bat and Dhananjaya at long on takes it comfortably to his right. 202/3Extras6 (b 4, w 2)TOTAL219/4 (20 Overs, RR: 10.95)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Rohan Mustafa, 0.5 ov), 2-172 (Colin Munro, 16.4 ov), 3-202 (Sherfane Rutherford, 18.3 ov), 4-219 (Alex Hales, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.6 Cleans him up! He pitches this one up on off, the ball again shaping into him, King misses his swing and the ball takes the off-stump. Cottrell does his trademark salute as he continues to make breakthroughs with the new ball 6/12.5 Goes full around off and and Lewis miscues his swing and ends up chipping it straight to mid-on. Cottrell has his second, and there's the salute again! 15/26.6 Edged and gone. Banged in short on middle. The ball was going across and DDS frees his arms and swings at it but can only nick it behind. Billings is not going to drop those and Cottrell has his third. The decision to bowl him out proves to be a very good one 42/53.5 Up in the air and there's another one gone! Ingram looks to swing away this length ball and gets a top edge that goes high in the air and Colin Munro makes no mistake at square leg. Two-ball duck for Ingram 18/34.4 Full and swinging in, it hits him on his leg and rolls to the off side as he misses his flick. And wait, that's a direct hit! Hasaranga does brilliantly to race in, pick the ball up and throw the stumps down at the striker's end and Asalanka has to depart 18/47.2 Farid chips it back to the bowler! On a length just outside off, spun in just a bit and Farid doesn't pick that and ends up giving an easy return catch. ADKR are now six down in the eighth over 42/614.5 Shiraz has his revenge! Goes full and wide, Russell looks to slap it away on the off side but it's hit straight to Rohan Mustafa at sweeper cover. Shiraz does a little rifle-shooting celebration. He'll be delighted to get the big man's wicket 108/99.6 Hasaranga strikes again! Tossed up full, late drift to off, he looks to slog-sweep but edges it high up in the air and Munro settles under it 54/713.1 And he strikes immediately! Off cutter on middle and he straightens his bat at the last moment as he looked to flick and that loops up straight back to the bowler! 90/815.1 Trapped in front and given! Full on off, seams in, Matiullah looks to defend and misses and is hit on the back pad. He reviews it. No bat. That's three reds and Desert Vipers seal the win! 108/10Extras7 (b 4, w 3)TOTAL108 all out (15.1 Overs, RR: 7.12)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Brandon King, 0.6 ov), 2-15 (Kennar Lewis, 2.5 ov), 3-18 (Colin Ingram, 3.5 ov), 4-18 (Charith Asalanka, 4.4 ov), 5-42 (Dhananjaya de Silva, 6.6 ov), 6-42 (Zawar Farid, 7.2 ov), 7-54 (Sunil Narine, 9.6 ov), 8-90 (Akeal Hosein, 13.1 ov), 9-108 (Andre Russell, 14.5 ov), 10-108 (Matiullah Khan, 15.1 ov)
