Desert Vipers vs Dubai Capitals, 27th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Kuggeleijn to Michael Jones, out Caught by Shanaka!! Full and outside off, Jones opens the bat face and slices it over point, Shanaka runs in from sweeper and takes a safe catch. Michael Jones c Shanaka b Kuggeleijn 20(20) [4s-1 6s-1]

Kuggeleijn to Michael Jones, SIX, much needed. Slower ball outside off, Jones shuffles across and pumps it over long-on

Olly Stone to Michael Jones, FOUR, full toss around off, Jones smashes it straight back over Stone

Haider Ali to Sam Curran, out Lbw!! This is a massive wicket. Curran is dangerous at this stage of the innings and Haider Ali has sent him back. Flatter and turns in sharply, Curran is rooted to the crease and gets beaten on the inside edge, struck on the back pad and impact was the only question, replays showed it to be umpire's call and the onfield decision was withheld. Sam Curran lbw b Haider Ali 17(18) [4s-1]

Raza to Adam Hose, out Lbw!! That plumb in real time. Hose has a chat with Curran and the pair decide against the review. Flatter, quicker and skidding, Hose was late in bringing his bat down and is struck on the pad right in front of middle-stump. The ball would have crashed into leg-stump. Adam Hose lbw b Raza 7(8)

Olly Stone to Hales, out Caught by Ngarava!! Second wicket for Stone. The brakes have certainly been applied. The dangerous Hales goes back for a fine 66. Short and angled into the body, Hales is rushed on the pull and he gloves it to short fine, the ball lobs gently and Ngarava completes the simple catch. Hales c Ngarava b Olly Stone 66(37) [4s-4 6s-6]

Kuggeleijn to Sam Curran, FOUR, short and outside off, Curran cuts it uppishly over backward point and sweeper has no chance

Kuggeleijn to Hales, FOUR, short of length delivery and it just sits up, Hales nails the pull to deep mid-wicket and the ball just bounces inside

Olly Stone to Munro, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! Stone goes right through. Angled in from round the wicket and Munro misses a straight ball, he looks to drive but leaves a big gap for the ball to sneak through and hit middle-stump. The Capitals fighting back with back to back wickets. Munro b Olly Stone 6(5) [4s-1]

Olly Stone to Munro, FOUR, short ball down leg, Munro gloves the pull and the ball races away to fine leg

van der Merwe to Daniel Lawrence, out Caught by Rahul Chopra!! Second wicket for van der Merwe. Lawrence uses his feet, gives himself room and looks to go inside out, but the ball was slowed up and hence Lawrence hit it a lot straighter than he would have liked, Chopra settles near long-off and takes a good catch. Daniel Lawrence c Rahul Chopra b van der Merwe 15(11) [4s-1 6s-1]

Haider Ali to Hales, FOUR, short and width on offer, Hales slaps it in front and beats the sweeper in the deep

Haider Ali to Hales, SIX, fifty for Hales. He brings it up in style. Couple of dots and he decides to take on Ali, gets the ball right in his arc and there was no half measures, sends it soaring over the sightscreen

van der Merwe to Daniel Lawrence, SIX, Lawrence has been using his feet to good effect. He steps down, gets close to the ball and lofts it handsomely down the ground. No problems clearing the rope

Haider Ali to Hales, no run, direct hit might have had Lawrence. Hales guides it towards backward point and wasn't interested in the single, Lawrence was almost halfway down before being sent back and luckily for him the throw was not on target

Haider Ali to Hales, SIX, just over cow corner. Hales comes down the track and does not get to the pitch, he has to reach out to connect with his swipe and does not get it off the middle, the ball goes a long way up and evades Kuggeleijn near the rope

van der Merwe to Daniel Lawrence, FOUR, shot! Lawrence uses his feet, gets to the pitch of the ball and that allows him to loft against the spin, he goes over mid-on and almost sends it all the way

van der Merwe to Philip Salt, out Caught by Ngarava!! van der Merwe breaks the partnership. Flighted delivery around off, Salt crouches low and plays the reverse sweep, struck it pretty well but picks out Ngarava perfectly at short third. Philip Salt c Ngarava b van der Merwe 26(11) [4s-4 6s-1]

van der Merwe to Philip Salt, FOUR, flighted outside off, Salt slices the loft over wide mid-off and there's no protection in the deep

Kuggeleijn to Philip Salt, FOUR, it is carnage from both ends now. Short and just a hint of width, Salt does not bother to keep the cut down and slices it wide of short third

Kuggeleijn to Philip Salt, SIX, 50 up for the Vipers in just 3.1 overs. Salt gets into the act now. Off-pace delivery and barely climbs over the waist, Salt swivels and pulls it in front of square, just clearing the rope

Ngarava to Hales, FOUR, 26 runs from the over. Hales showing his wide range. Back of a length outside off, he waits and guides it behind square on the off-side, splitting backward point and short third

Ngarava to Hales, SIX, he's going higher and higher with his sixes. Ngarava goes round the wicket and tries to slip in the slower ball, but Hales is on the charge and heaves it 113 meters long into the deep mid-wicket region

Ngarava to Hales, SIX, Hales on fire. Slower ball and he picked it right out of the hand, delayed his bat swing and sent it into the second tier near long-off

Ngarava to Philip Salt, FOUR, that ruins the over. Short of length and Salt stays put this time, nails the pull over mid-wicket and almost sends it the distance
