Desert Vipers vs Sharjah Warriorz, 22nd Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Naseem Shah to Taskin Ahmed, out Caught by Khuzaima Tanveer!! Sharjah Warriorz are bowled out for 90. Naseem wraps it up with two wickets in one over. But what was Taskin thinking? Abell is still batting at the other end and he perishes while playing the big shot. Slower delivery around off, Taskin clears his front leg and swings hard, miscues it towards mid-off and Khuzaima keeps his eyes on the ball and takes a good catch. Taskin Ahmed c Khuzaima Tanveer b Naseem Shah 2(4)

Naseem Shah to Adil Rashid, out Caught by Noor Ahmad!! Wickets continue to tumble.. Full and outside off, Rashid sees the width and throws the kitchen sink, gets a thick outside edge down to third man and Noor takes a good catch. He runs to his right and hangs on while on the move. The Warriorz are 9 down and in danger of being bowled out inside 20 overs. Adil Rashid c Noor Ahmad b Naseem Shah 1(6)

Noor Ahmad to Harmeet Singh, out Lbw!! That was the only question - the impact. Umpire Rod Tucker thought about it and went in favour of the Vipers. Googly from Noor and it spins in, Harmeet sits down and misses the slog sweep, struck on the back thigh and ball-tracking showed it to be smashing into the stumps. The Warriorz have had a couple of 50-50 calls go against them. Harmeet Singh lbw b Noor Ahmad 4(6)

Khuzaima Tanveer to Pretorius, out Caught by Fakhar Zaman!! Second wicket for Khuzaima in this over. The Warriorz have lost Raza, Karthik and Pretorius in the last 11 balls. That is just massive. Fullish delivery angled in, Pretorius closes the bat face and heaves it to deep square leg. Not quite off the middle but Pretorius still got it a long way as Fakhar stationed himself on the edge of the rope and took the catch. The Warriorz slip further and are in danger of not batting out their full quota. Pretorius c Fakhar Zaman b Khuzaima Tanveer 1(3)

Khuzaima Tanveer to Karthik, out Lbw!! That was a 50-50 call and it has gone Vipers' way. Khuzaima comes back and strikes immediately. Karthik departs cheaply and the wheels are coming off this Warriorz's innings. Good length ball, slants back in and catches Karthik on the shuffle, he misses the flick and is rapped on the pads. The impact was in front of the stumps and ball-tracker showed it to be clipping top of leg-stump. Karthik lbw b Khuzaima Tanveer 3(5)

Sam Curran to Raza, out Caught by Dan Lawrence!! Curran strikes with his second ball! Raza comes, Raza goes. This is more to do with what has happened before. The run-rate is down and the Warriorz needed impetus. Raza tries to get on with it and perishes in the process. 124.2ks full pitcher on off, Raza does not get under the length and hence no elevation on the lofted drive, simple catch to mid-off and Lawrence laps it up. Raza c Dan Lawrence b Sam Curran 1(3)

Noor Ahmad to Ethan DSouza, out Stumped!! Gone! First wicket for Noor. The partnership is broken which might be a good thing for the Warriorz as it will be bring in an experienced batter like Raza or DK. DSouza comes down the track and looks to loft straight back, but the ball spins away a tad and beats his swinging blade, Aravind does the rest behind the stumps. Ethan DSouza st Aravind b Noor Ahmad 18(21) [4s-1]

Dan Lawrence to Abell, FOUR, runs starting to flow.. That is what a bit of intent can do. Fraction short and outside off, Abell cracks it in front of square and the fielder in the deep was square, no chance for him to make the stop

Noor Ahmad to Ethan DSouza, FOUR, lovely shot! Finally some intent. DSouza comes down the track, gives himself some room and lofts it with the spin over extra cover, one bounce and over the ropes

Dan Lawrence to Abell, no run, that was a poor call from umpire Shiju Sam. Dragged short and turning in, Abell rocks back and misses the pull, the ball struck him on the back thigh but the impact was well outside off

David Payne to James Rew, out Caught by Dan Lawrence!! This is excellent stuff from Payne. He's come back into the side, replaced skipper Lockie and picked up the first three wickets. Credit to Curran as well to keep him going and finish his quota. Rew advances and tries to put Payne off his length, but ends up miscuing the shot straight up and Lawrence settles under it near mid-off, makes no mistake. The ball hit the splice of the bat and went up. James Rew c Dan Lawrence b David Payne 0(6)

Naseem Shah to Abell, FOUR, shot! Naseem offers width and pays the price. The length is fraction short and Abell cracks the cut square on the off-side

David Payne to Kohler-Cadmore, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! Second wicket for Payne. Both openers back in the hut inside 5 overs. The Vipers are right on top. Full pitcher, hint of inswing and Kohler-Cadmore made it look even better by not moving his feet, he plays all around it and gets a thin inside edge before the ball flattens the middle-stump. Kohler-Cadmore b David Payne 9(11) [4s-2]

David Payne to Abell, FOUR, shot! Good length ball around off, Abell goes back and punches it in front of square. Long side there and the ball teased Holden all the way before beating him to the fence

Khuzaima Tanveer to Kohler-Cadmore, FOUR, crunched! No swing and Kohler-Cadmore dimisses it to the fence. He made a bit of room and that allowed him to free his hands, drills the drive in front of square and doesn't bother to run. He puts his head down and marks his guard..

David Payne to Charles, out Caught by Sam Curran!! This was coming.. Charles was all at sea against Payne. He played and missed quite a few deliveries, and when he did connect it was nowhere close to the middle. Payne sticks to his full and wide stuff, Charles reaches and toe-ends the loft straight up, Curran moves his left from mid-off and takes a simple catch. Charles c Sam Curran b David Payne 3(9)

Khuzaima Tanveer to Kohler-Cadmore, FOUR, gift and Kohler-Cadmore takes full toll. Full toss around off, he does not try to overhit the drive, caresses it through the off-side field and picks up the boundary
