International League T20: Desert Vipers Prevails Against Abu Dhabi Knight Riders With 111-Runs Victory

In the 9th match of ILT20 played between Abu Dhabi Knight Riders and Desert Vipers, Abu Dhabi Knight Riders won the toss & opt to bowl first. Mustafa and Hales came to open the batting while Russell bowled the first over. However, Russell had to depart early in the first over and could only score 8 off 5 balls. After that, Hales and Munro built a rock solid partnership of 164 runs. In 16.4 overs, the score was 172-2 and Munro departed at 56 off 41. Sherfane Rutherford played a cameo inning, fuelling 23 off 7 balls. Hales smashed a wonderful century in today’s match, scoring 110 in 59 balls. In 20 overs, Desert Vipers successfully posted a mammoth score of 219-4.

In the run chase, Cottrell bowled an excellent session to stop the batting side, and Knight Riders were never able to get going. Brandon King got dismissed in the first over, scoring just 6 off 6 balls. In 3 overs, the score was 15-2 as both openers left the crease without doing much for their team. After such a weak start, there was little hope to recover. The side kept losing wickets one after the other and in 10 overs, the score was 54-7. Russell put 57 off 29 balls but could not help the team to come even close to the target. In 15 overs, the score was 108-9. Despite Russell entertaining us with a few lusty knocks, the Vipers eventually won the game by a huge score of 111 runs.

The Desert Vipers won easily, making it three wins in a row for them. The Knight Riders, however, have now lost four games in a row overall. The toss was possibly the only thing that worked for the Knight Riders. The rest of the game was just a downward slide from that point on. The Vipers amassed a huge first innings total thanks to Alex Hales’ amazing century and his outstanding partnership with Munro.
