Dubai Capitals vs Desert Vipers, 1st Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

David Payne to Haider Ali, FOUR, he's pulled this in the gap between deep mid-wicket and deep backward square leg and they get that 150 mark as well. Short delivery, Haider managed to get a good hold of it

David Payne to Shanaka, out Caught by Naseem Shah!! Off the edge and taken at short third man. Short of a length delivery angling away, Shanaka stepped out for a big hit, top edge only carries as far as the ring. Shanaka c Naseem Shah b David Payne 12(11) [6s-1]

David Payne to Shanaka, SIX, that is the shot of the game from the captain. Length delivery angling away, Shanaka stepped out for a big hit, backed himself and lofted on the rise to time it sweetly over cover

Noor Ahmad to Scott Currie, FOUR, handy hit! Fullish from Noor Ahmad, Currie drives down the ground and lofts over the infield for a timely boundary

Noor Ahmad to Nabi, out Bowled!! The youngster gets the President. Googly on the stumps, Nabi looks to slog across the line and misses, ball hits the stumps. This will surely dent the Capitals by at least 10 runs. That's what Nabi can do at the end. Nabi b Noor Ahmad 29(23) [4s-2 6s-2]

Naseem Shah to Nabi, SIX, the experience, the power, the distance! Length delivery angling in, Nabi whips the slog over mid-wicket and it stays a proper hit

Naseem Shah to Nabi, FOUR, he manages to get it past backward square leg this time. Tried to connect and missed a couple of times, gets a handy boundary

Sam Curran to Nabi, SIX, oh belted down the ground. Full delivery angling away, Nabi sets a solid base and smacks it high and handsome over the sightscreen. Pace off, but he read it

David Payne to Nabi, FOUR, length delivery, pace off. Nabi looks to swing hard, gets a thick edge that escapes over backward point and third man was up

Khuzaima Tanveer to Powell, out Bowled!! Revenge is sweet for the bowler. 6 4 4 and timbah! Length delivery, Powell backed himself to muscle another one over mid-wicket. He usually does as well but this time lost shape and missed the ball. Maybe it nipped away a tad as well. Ball hit the top of middle stump and the bowler is absolutely thrilled. Powell b Khuzaima Tanveer 39(22) [4s-4 6s-2]

Khuzaima Tanveer to Powell, FOUR, he's slogged this for four more. Length delivery from Khuzaima Tanveer, Powell mistimes, hits it along the ground and wide of deep mid-wicket

Khuzaima Tanveer to Powell, FOUR, slot and punished! He's strong down the ground. Khuzaima Tanveer probably tried the yorker and missed again. Powell got under it and went as straight as he could

Khuzaima Tanveer to Powell, SIX, smashed! Full and outside off stump, Powell waits and belts it hard down the ground this time over mid-off

Khuzaima Tanveer to Powell, 2 runs, in the airrr, just over the back-tracking Sam Curran from mid-off. Short of a length delivery outside off stump, Powell looks to flat-bat this pull shot, toe-ends it over mid-off and escapes the mishit

Sam Curran to Powell, SIX, there goes Powell into the mid-wicket stand. They need more of these from him. Slower delivery from Sam Curran, Powell waits and muscles the slog over mid-wicket

Noor Ahmad to Powell, FOUR, oh the full toss! Powell gets inside the line and sweeps it past backward square leg for a handy boundary

Noor Ahmad to Willey, out Bowled!! It's Noor, it's his googly to the LHB and it's the stumps that have been disturbed. Quicker ball this time completely beating Willey on the slog-sweep. Ball sneaks through to hit middle and leg. Very important wicket as Willey could power some quick runs. Willey b Noor Ahmad 10(22)

Sam Curran to Willey, no run, easily missing leg stump! Good length delivery angling in, Willey looks to flick, misses. Impact in line with leg stump but Sam Curran bowling over the wicket meant it was always heading down

Noor Ahmad to Powell, FOUR, outside edge and there is no one at slip and that is inexplicable given it's your premier bowler and the Capitals are already 4 down for not so much. Googly angling away, Powell looks to defend, gets a thick edge and it escapes to the third man fence

Khuzaima Tanveer to S Jahangir, out Caught by Dan Lawrence!! This could be the pitch doing the trick. He attempted a similar shot to the previous ball. This time it didn't swing so he thought he could play the original line but the ball seamed away off the pitch to surprise him on the shot and fly straight to mid-off off the leading edge. A deserved wicket for Khuzaima Tanveer though. Has moved the ball both ways and bowled really well. S Jahangir c Dan Lawrence b Khuzaima Tanveer 19(15) [4s-3]

Khuzaima Tanveer to S Jahangir, FOUR, nicely flicked over wide mid-on. Khuzaima Tanveer looks for swing and pitches it up but Jahangir managed to cover the outswing and middled it so well

Khuzaima Tanveer to S Jahangir, FOUR, full and outside off stump, Jahangir leans forward and lofts it high over cover for a handsome hit to the fence

David Payne to Jordan Cox, out Caught by Hetmyer!! In the airrr and Hety with a good bit of fielding again. Lovely catch rolling onto the ground. Ran quickly to the left, judged it nicely despite having to tumble. Length delivery from David Payne, Cox looked to smash, got it on the inside half of the bat and ball flew to squarer to deep square leg than intended. Jordan Cox c Hetmyer b David Payne 2(7)

Khuzaima Tanveer to Jordan Cox, 1 run, Dan Lawrence fired the stumps down but Cox got home in time. Sounded very good off the bat but it actually only went off the bottom as Cox looks to smash hard, they stole a run as it didn't have quick legs to reach the fielder

Sam Curran to Gulbadin, out Caught&Bowled!! Oh stunner from Sam Curran. Just stuck his left hand out and plucks it off thin air. Does the Gulbadin Naib celebration by flexing both the biceps. Soft dismissal. Lengthth delivery just outside off stump, just a push from Gulbadin. Seemed like the ball stopped on him and he chipped it to the right of the bowler. Was the wrong side for Sam Curran and he was in his followthrough as well but he super quick with his reaction and made it look so smooth. Gulbadin c and b Sam Curran 0(1)

Naseem Shah to Sediqullah Atal, out Caught by Aravind!! This is a mishit, good running catch from deep point with fielders converging from the ring as well. Sediqullah plays an ill-advised shot across the line and perishes. On the way back he tells himself that he should have played that straighter. Length delivery angling away, Sediqullah tried to target mid-wicket, bat turned in his hands and the ball was sliced high just over point. Backward point and the man at cover were also keen for the catch but third man ran in quickly to pouch it safely. Sediqullah Atal c Aravind b Naseem Shah 16(13) [4s-2]

Naseem Shah to Sediqullah Atal, FOUR, full delivery outside off stump, Sediqullah leans forward and drives over the infield and gets the connection right. Delayed the shot to time it with the chance of pace from Naseem Shah

David Payne to S Jahangir, FOUR, now manages to thread the gap at cover. Fullish delivery outside off stump, Jahangir drives on the rise and hits it to the left of the man at cover. Both batters have got their first hits to the fence

Naseem Shah to Sediqullah Atal, FOUR, poor leg-side freebie and put away. Swinging down leg, man at fine leg but Sediqullah flicked this very square and got it well wide of that man to the left. Fine leg now pushed squarer after this boundary
