Desert Vipers vs Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, 4th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Naseem Shah to Chand, out Caught by Noor Ahmad!! It's a slower-ball off-cutter on a fuller length outside off, Chand shuffles across and looks to scoop, but Noor goes back from short fine-leg to take it. Slightly lost his footing there and grimaced after taking that as the right leg dug into the turf. Should be fine I suppose. Chand c Noor Ahmad b Naseem Shah 18(13) [4s-1 6s-1]

Sam Curran to Chand, SIX, clean hit. A good length delivery just outside off, Chand gets forward and launches this flat, clears the long-on fence, good start to the over, Chand basically flat-batted that

Khuzaima Tanveer to Russell, SIX, now over wide long-on. A hard back of a length delivery just outside off, Russell gets forward and swipes it over wide long-on, just has enough to clear the fence

Khuzaima Tanveer to Russell, FOUR, hard back of a length on the stumps, Russell pulls and the top-edge flies over short third man, pressure on Khuzaima Tanveer

Khuzaima Tanveer to Russell, SIX, a juicy low full-toss and sliding down leg, Russell helps the flick and it flies over the deep square-leg fence, a flat hit and clears Qais

Noor Ahmad to Russell, FOUR, tossed up full outside off, in the slot, Russell gets forward and lofts nicely, wide of extra-cover and it speeds to the fence, belted that did Russell

Naseem Shah to Chand, FOUR, nicely done. On a length outside off, Chand gets forward and lofts over extra-cover, runs away to the fence

Qais Ahmad to Livingstone, out Caught by Naseem Shah!! Qais Ahmad again in the act. It's wide of Livingstone outside off, cleverly bowled, Livingstone comes down the track to loft, the thick outside-edge is found and Naseem takes it easily at short third man going back. Livingstone wanted to go over extra-cover but the ball was away from his reach. ADKR losing their way. Livingstone c Naseem Shah b Qais Ahmad 4(6)

Qais Ahmad to Russell, FOUR, tossed up full outside off, Russell sees the width and throws the bat at that, slices it over backward point and it runs away

Dan Lawrence to Rutherford, out Caught by Qais Ahmad!! Again the overspin and the drop gets Rutherford. He backs away outside the leg-stump, it's on a length there, he gets forward to loft, off the thick outside-edge as he is not to the pitch of the ball, simple catch to backward point and it's Qais again. Dan Lawrence has a wicket in his first over. Rutherford c Qais Ahmad b Dan Lawrence 3(6)

Dan Lawrence to Rutherford, byes, FOUR, given as byes. It's a short of length delivery following Rutherford outside the leg-stump, looks like a faint inside-edge and Gous doesn't get near it, a sound as well when ball was next to bat, the ump got that wrong there, runs away fine to the fence

Noor Ahmad to Hales, out Caught by Qais Ahmad!! Qais dropped a simple catch earlier, now pulls off a blinder at backward point. He runs and dives to his left to grab a low catch. It's tossed up full outside off, Hales gets forward to drive, the thick outside-edge flies and Qais takes it nicely, when he lands, he ensures he has the ball in hand. End of a good knock by Hales. Hales c Qais Ahmad b Noor Ahmad 53(37) [4s-4 6s-3]

Noor Ahmad to Alishan Sharafu, out Caught by Dan Lawrence!! Good catch at long-on. Lawrence keeps his feet away from the cushions as he takes it. It's tossed up full outside off, Alishan Sharafu gets forward to loft, doesn't time it, off the bottom of the bat and he looks at it as he walks off. Nearly cleared Lawrence but he takes it well. Alishan Sharafu c Dan Lawrence b Noor Ahmad 25(19) [4s-1 6s-2]

Noor Ahmad to Alishan Sharafu, leg byes, 2 runs, it's just pitched outside the leg-stump, that saves Alishan Sharafu, who misses the slogsweep, hit on the back leg and Noor Ahmad with a big shout for LBW. Almost a plea that. Not given and DV take the review. There's an overthrow as well which turns one into two, no backing up, that's why

Noor Ahmad to Alishan Sharafu, SIX, on the roof at deep mid-wicket. It's tossed up full outside off, Alishan Sharafu brings out the slogsweep and nails it, lands on the roof, such a good hit

Noor Ahmad to Hales, SIX, just clears Sam Curran at long-off. 50 for Hales. It's tossed up full outside off, Hales gets forward and lofts, slices across the ball and it just has enough to clear Curran, Hales raises the bat to acknowledge the applause

Sam Curran to Hales, SIX, the no-look or the look-down shot. On a fullish length on leg-stump, Hales gets forward and lofts through the line, such a good hit, it hits the top of the roof at long-on and comes back down. Had it cleared the roof, the ball was out of the ground, Hales looks at the pitch after hitting it and doesn't lift his head at all

Sam Curran to Alishan Sharafu, 1 run, dropped by short third man. Again Matiullah the man. He dives to his right and gets both hands but drops it. Alishan Sharafu comes down the track and slashes the length delivery, it goes to his right and even though it's flying, it should have been taken

Khuzaima Tanveer to Hales, FOUR, back of a length on off, Hales goes on the back foot and pulls meatily, cleared his front leg and powered it through the vacant mid-wicket area

Qais Ahmad to Alishan Sharafu, 1 run, just about carries to short third man who dives forward but can't scoop it up. Qais Ahmad drags the length back as Alishan Sharafu again gives the charge, the loft produces a thick outside-edge and the short third man fielder did all he could, but fails to grab hold of it

Qais Ahmad to Alishan Sharafu, SIX, nicely hit. Alishan Sharafu comes down the track and gets to the pitch of the ball to this tossed up delivery, lofts and hits the sightscreen on the full, clean hit

Noor Ahmad to Hales, FOUR, googly and good length outside off, Hales goes on the back foot and opens the face of the bat to cut, beats backward point's dive to his left, split him and short third man to perfection

Noor Ahmad to Alishan Sharafu, 2 runs, tossed up full just outside off, Alishan Sharafu gets forward to drive straight down the ground for two

Qais Ahmad to Alishan Sharafu, FOUR, tossed up full outside off, Alishan Sharafu backs away and lofts, the off-side field is in, slices it over the point region

Qais Ahmad to Phil Salt, out Caught by Naseem Shah!! And who has caught this? Naseem. Redemption for Qais Ahmad. He was brought in to get Phil Salt and he gets him first ball. A drag-down outside the leg-stump, Salt goes on the back foot to pull, the top-edge flies straight up and Naseem takes it reverse-cup at short fine-leg. Took it easily. Qais will be a relieved man. It was quicker but spin in outside the leg-stump, Salt took it on and paid the price. Phil Salt c Naseem Shah b Qais Ahmad 18(15) [4s-1 6s-1]

Naseem Shah to Phil Salt, 1 run, dropped by Qais at backward point. A slower-ball off-cutter on a length outside off, Phil Salt gets forward to loft, right off the toe of the bat, it went a long way up, Qais goes for it, it hits the hands hard, then bounces off it into his face and then down it goes, tried to catch the conventional way, Naseem Shah has his hands on his head. Qais never looked comfortable under that one

Sam Curran to Hales, SIX, full on off, Hales backs away, gets under this, lofts well and it flies over the long-off fence, mid-off was in anyway

Khuzaima Tanveer to Hales, FOUR, length delivery outside off, shapes away, Hales opens the face of the bat and steers it wide of short third man, all touch and four, no chance for deep backward point to his left

Khuzaima Tanveer to Hales, FOUR, big inswinger and full on leg-stump, Hales makes room slightly to drive, the thick inside-edge flicks the back pad and misses leg-stump, runs away well wide of short fine to his right

Naseem Shah to Phil Salt, SIX, this is hit cleanly. A good length delivery outside off, Phil Salt gets forward and lofts, pure muscle and the ball flies towards the sightscreen, ends the over on a high

Naseem Shah to Phil Salt, FOUR, full on off, Phil Salt gets forward and lofts through the line, got lots of height on that, and has the elevation to clear mid-off, runs away
