Desert Vipers vs Dubai Capitals, 15th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Naseem Shah to Shanaka, FOUR, unlucky for Naseem. 138.8ks yorker length on off, Shanaka makes room and brings his bat down in time, toe-ends it fine and the ball races away to third man

Naseem Shah to Shanaka, FOUR, 116.6ks short of length outside off, Shanaka sees the width and throws his bat on the cut, slices it over backward point and starts the final over with a boundary

Ferguson to Shanaka, SIX, now Shanaka joins the act. Another full toss from Ferguson and this time Shanaka does not miss out, it was around the knee and Shanaka swings it over deep square leg. He missed out on the previous one but not this..

Ferguson to Jordan Cox, SIX, Cox giving the impetus to the innings. Short of length delivery, there's no pace on this wicket and that allowed Cox to set himself up for the pull, launches it towards deep mid-wicket and clears the rope. 77-meter six..

Sam Curran to Jordan Cox, FOUR, back to back fours. 117.3ks short of length delivery, plenty of width on offer and Cox throws the kitchen sink, slices it over short third and there's no stopping that

Sam Curran to Jordan Cox, FOUR, 105ks off-pace delivery, slanted across and this time Cox stood deep in the crease, waited for the ball to arrive and thumps it down the ground, one bounce and over the ropes

Ferguson to Jordan Cox, FOUR, end the over with a boundary. 126.4ks short of length delivery, Cox moves away and nails the pull towards deep mid-wicket. Hetmyer gets around and dives but the ball beats him to the fence

Khuzaima Tanveer to Jordan Cox, SIX, that's off the middle and sailed into the crowd. Short of length delivery, sits up nicely and Cox pounces, transfers his weight back and nails the pull over deep square leg. 75-meter maximum..

Khuzaima Tanveer to Jordan Cox, FOUR, streaky! 133.6ks short of length delivery, Cox shimmies down and gets into an awkward position, just throws his bat and the top-edge flies wide of Aravind

Sam Curran to Powell, out Caught by Hasan Nawaz!! Two in two. Curran is on a hat-trick. Powell comes, Powell goes. He is the in-form batter for the Capitals and he's gone for a first ball duck. Curran is pumped. Full delivery angled across, no pace and Powell goes after it, he ends up slicing it to sweeper cover and a much easier catch for Nawaz, he barely moved as the ball came straight into his lap. Powell c Hasan Nawaz b Sam Curran 0(1)

Sam Curran to Leus du Plooy, out Caught by Hasan Nawaz!! Curran comes back and sends back the set batter. du Plooy would be disappointed though because this was in the slot and he's picked out the fielder. Pace on delivery, lands right in the slot and du Plooy is deep in the crease, whips it with his bottom hand but gets more height than distance, Nawaz comes in from deep mid-wicket and takes a good catch. Good knock but the Capitals would have wanted du Plooy to bat a bit longer. Leus du Plooy c Hasan Nawaz b Sam Curran 54(44) [4s-6 6s-1]

Naseem Shah to Leus du Plooy, SIX, fifty for du Plooy. He's on the charge. Took on Lockie in the previous over and now sends Naseem over the rope. Charges down the wicket, gets under the length delivery and pumps it over long-off. He raises his bat and acknowledges the applause..

Ferguson to Jordan Cox, 2 runs, Curran gets fingertips. Slower ball around off, Cox stays leg-side and looks to loft it over extra cover, miscues it over the infield and Curran runs back, dives but can't hang on. That would have been a stunner..

Ferguson to Leus du Plooy, no run, run-out chance missed. Full and slanted in, du Plooy misses the flick and the ball rolls off the pad towards cover, he wanted the single and was more than a halfway down the wicket before being sent back, but Holden does not gather the ball cleanly and allows du Plooy to get back in. How costly will that prove?

Ferguson to Leus du Plooy, FOUR, back to back fours! This is more traditional. He gives himself room and gets under the length delivery, right in the slot and he thumps it straight back over Ferguson, one bounce and over the ropes

Ferguson to Leus du Plooy, FOUR, superb shot! du Plooy premeditated the reverse scoop and even though Ferguson took pace off, du Plooy was able to generate enough power to clear short third and pick up the boundary

Dan Lawrence to Leus du Plooy, FOUR, lovely shot! Flighted delivery, du Plooy makes room and gets under the ball, lofts it inside out over extra cover and the ball has enough legs to reach the fence. They changed the field before this ball - bringing deep extra cover in and sending mid-on back, du Plooy took advantage of that..

Noor Ahmad to Gulbadin, out Caught by Sam Curran!! Noor wins the battle against his Afghanistan team mate. Just when Naib started to get himself going, he departs. 92.5ks floated up wrong 'un, the line is outside off and Naib can't quite get under the loft, slices it towards long-off and Curran settles under it, hangs on safely. Gulbadin c Sam Curran b Noor Ahmad 21(20) [4s-4]

Noor Ahmad to Gulbadin, FOUR, Naib starting to accelerated. Flighted delivery, he stays leg-side and gives himself the space to free his hands, lofts it straight back over Noor and beats the long-on fielder comfortably

Dan Lawrence to Gulbadin, FOUR, that's better. 88.9ks drifted across from round the wicket, there was width on offer and Naib fetches the sweep, strikes it in front of square and splits the two fielders in the deep

Noor Ahmad to Leus du Plooy, no run, Vipers lose a review! Noor went up, Aravind joined in but the duo were not too confident. They managed to convince Lockie though to take the review. du Plooy does not pick the wrong 'un and shuffles across to get beaten on the inside edge, struck on the pad but he had gotten himself outside off

Noor Ahmad to Gulbadin, FOUR, lucky! Naib is living a dangerously. Tossed up, gets it to drift across and turn in, Naib prods forward and pushes with hard hands, the inside edge escapes past Aravind's mitts and wasn't far from the off-stump either..

Ferguson to Gulbadin, FOUR, a boundary but not a convincing one. Back of a length around off, Naib swings across the line and gets a thick inside edge, the ball goes backward of square and races away to the fence

Khuzaima Tanveer to Leus du Plooy, FOUR, neatly done! Short of length angled across, du Plooy stays leg-side and opens the bat face to guide it behind square on the off-side. Used the pace of Tanveer and beat the fielder getting across from third man

Khuzaima Tanveer to Gulbadin, 1 run, what was Curran doing? He did not see the ball. This time the leading edge is found as Naib once again closes the bat face, the ball skies towards mid-off and Curran does not spot early, he is well in from the 30-yard circle and the ball drops just beyond him. Ferguson tries to get around from mid-on but he's well short of where the ball landed. It was Curran's catch and he completely misjudged or lost it in the lights.

Naseem Shah to S Jahangir, out Caught by Ferguson!! Excellent catch from Ferguson. No heroics from Jahangir today. Fullish delivery around off, Jahangir tries to loft it over mid-off but the bat turns on impact and he miscues the shot wide of mid-off. The ball seemed to be going away from Ferguson but he runs to his left and plucks it with both hands. He made it look easier than it seemed. Early wicket for the Vipers. S Jahangir c Ferguson b Naseem Shah 7(7) [4s-1]

Naseem Shah to S Jahangir, FOUR, on a length and around off, Jahangir is caught in the crease and defends with soft hands, the outside edge goes to ground and races away to the third man fence

Khuzaima Tanveer to Leus du Plooy, FOUR, nicely done! du Plooy charged down early and Tanveer went pace off, bowled into the wicket and du Plooy adjusted well, waited and ramped it over Bruce in the wide slip region

Naseem Shah to Leus du Plooy, FOUR, boundary to end the over. du Plooy makes room and Naseem tries to slip in the slower ball, but the southpaw waited and cracked it uppishly over the point region
