Desert Vipers vs Sharjah Warriorz, Qualifier 2 - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Khuzaima Tanveer to DSouza, FOUR, moves across to disturb the bowler, scoops it nicely over the keeper and gets the 160+ score they were after

Khuzaima Tanveer to Roy, out Bowled!! Yorked him and castled him. This is a great over from Khuzaima Tanveer. Sharjah had the momentum with those sixes in the last over, now Khuzaima Tanveer swings it back for the Vipers with two wickets. Fine yorker, Roy swung and missed, ball hit base of off stump. Had to be a top ball to end this fine innings. Roy b Khuzaima Tanveer 73(56) [4s-7 6s-2]

Khuzaima Tanveer to Karim Janat, out Caught by Lawrence at deep mid-wicket!! That was such a stylish shot, shame he hit it to hand at deep mid-wicket. Full and angling into the pads, Karim Janat plays the no-look flick or a flick where he didn't get inside the line for the shot. Just total hands on that shot with some great wrist power but he didn't get the distance. Karim Janat c Lawrence b Khuzaima Tanveer 23(10) [6s-3]

Sam Curran to Roy, SIX, just a lofted inside out cover drive and it just disappears all the way. Is this the evidence that batting is getting easier or is it just Sam Curran bowling all slower balls in the slot and disguising them enough? Neat shot from Roy

Sam Curran to Karim Janat, SIX, now down the ground, high and handsome. Slow pitch, hitting straight is the best option and it's given him an 8-ball 22 already. Simple basics of cricket. Of course he got those lengths as well. Another slot slower ball, powered to the sightscreen

Sam Curran to Karim Janat, SIX, oh he is playing a gem of a cameo. Slower ball wide and full, he waits as he picked it up from the hand and smashed it over long-off

David Payne to Karim Janat, SIX, he hit that straight and in fact he's just managed to clear the ropes as well. Slower delivery sat up nicely, Karim Janat hit it straight towards the sightscreen

David Payne to Moeen Ali, out Caught by Sam Curran!! That is a great catch running forward and to the right, had to time that dive to perfection to grab that lowie. Mo looks to loft, mistimes, goes wide of long-off but Curran had it covered and enjoyed that catch with a fist pump. Moeen Ali c Sam Curran b David Payne 17(16) [4s-1]

David Payne to Moeen Ali, FOUR, full delivery, Mo looks to swing hard, gets a thick edge and it goes fine past the keeper

Sam Curran to Roy, 2 runs, short of length delivery, Roy slaps it past backward point

Khuzaima Tanveer to Moeen Ali, 1 run, short of length delivery, Mo pulls to deep mid-wicket

Sam Curran to Roy, no run, slower delivery, Roy looks to swing and misses. Pitched outside leg though and they lose the review

Lawrence to Roy, SIX, and he smacks this high and handsome over deep mid-wicket. Flighted delivery, Roy waits and slogs over mid-wicket. He's taking calculated risks with the offie turning the ball into him

Lawrence to Roy, FOUR, slog-sweep, Roy times the shot really well and sends it through square leg. Found the gap in the deep

Nathan Sowter to Wade, out Caught&Bowled!! Oh leading edge back to the bowler. Shortish delivery, Wade looks to flick, the ball flies back to the bowler who takes a simple return catch. Wade c and b Nathan Sowter 5(6) [4s-1]

Nathan Sowter to Roy, FOUR, fullish delivery from Nathan Sowter. Roy sweeps and sends it through backward square leg, finds the fence

Lawrence to Roy, leg byes, 1 run, turning back in, Roy looks to slog-sweep and misses, impact on middle-leg stump almost and there is no way it was hitting the stumps with an offie getting turn from over the wicket

Nathan Sowter to Wade, FOUR, lovely reverse sweep! Fullish delivery, Wade plays the shot really well, keeps it all along the ground and sends it past backward point

Nathan Sowter to Seifert, out Caught by Gurbaz!! That is the front leg out of the way, that is the slog, but that is a mistimed hit, that is going straight to long-on. That is the third wicket. This is not a straightforward wicket for batting at least for the first innings. Seifert c Gurbaz b Nathan Sowter 15(16) [4s-1]

Khuzaima Tanveer to Roy, FOUR, nicely pulled away! Short of a length delivery on the stumps, Roy sends it through deep square leg. Timed it sweetly

Nathan Sowter to Seifert, 1 run, fullish delivery, Seifert slogs to deep mid-wicket

Sam Curran to Seifert, FOUR, slower delivery, Seifert steps out and lofts this nicely over mid-off. Picked the variation from the hand

Amir to Roy, FOUR, oh lucky! Full and outside off stump, Roy looks to back away and drive hard, thick edge escapes past the stumps to the fence. Fine leg was up

Amir to Roy, FOUR, clipped away nicely! On the pads and no fine leg, easy pickings. Roy sends it through backward square leg

David Payne to Roy, FOUR, leg-sidish from David Payne and Roy helps it away fine to the fine leg fence

David Payne to Roy, FOUR, down the track and lofted over cover! Length delivery outside off stump, Roy steps out and lofts it over the infield

Amir to Charles, out Caught by Azam Khan!! Edged and taken! Look at Amir, he's fired up and roars. Short of a length delivery angling away, Charles looks to fetch the pull/slog from well wide of off and gets a top edge. Azam Khan jumps and collects overhead. Two down early in a big game. Charles c Azam Khan b Amir 16(10) [4s-1 6s-2]

Amir to Charles, SIX, oh smashed over cover! Full and wide of off stump, Charles waits and smacks it over the fence

Amir to Charles, FOUR, oh hit back hard! Amir tries to get his hands on it for the catch but it hits the fingertips and goes away for four. Charles backs away and flat-bats it down the ground for four more

David Payne to Kohler-Cadmore, out Caught&Bowled!! In the airrr and straight to the bowler. Shortish slower delivery, TKC looks to fend, ball stops and also bounces extra, went off the outer half of the bat as well and lobbed for a simple catch. Kohler-Cadmore c and b David Payne 1(3)

Amir to Charles, SIX, slashed away for six over backward point. Short of a length delivery angling away, Charles swings hard and gets a thickish edge that flies over point

Amir to Kohler-Cadmore, no run, edgeddd and put down! Short of a length delivery angling away outside off stump, Kohler-Cadmore hangs back and looks to drive, gets a thick edge that goes straight into first slip and does down. TKC was in the runs and how costly will this be?
