Vipers vs MI Emirates, Qualifier 1 at Abu Dhabi, ILT20, Dec 30 2025 - Match Result

Bustling in, full length and straightens a touch at off, pushes it along the carpet to long-on and that means Desert Vipers romp their way to the final with a massive 45-run win.

Full-toss hits on the unmentionables, wanted to smoke it over deep square, early through the shot, ball swung in the air

ouch! that hit on the front of the helmet, excellent spiteful bumper and he tries to take it on, loaded for a pull and it was right towards his eyeline, wanted to bail out of the shot and it was already too late, fist bump between bowler and batter, there will be a mandatory concussion check

Fires in an excellent inswinging yorker, goes past his legs to the keeper

Over the wicket, fuller length on middle, hoisted away to deep midwicket

Good length and floating outside off, play and a miss

On a length and slanting across off, unleashes a powerful tonk down the ground and gets another blistering boundary into the gap at long-on, 39 off 19

inside edge and beats the keeper, wanted to big downtown and lost his balance, lucky to be out there

on a length or thereabouts, plenty of width, chomped into the gap at deep extra cover, couple of bounces over the rope, terrific striking

Presses it down to mid-off and a tumbling stop keeps them down to one

Short and wide, throws his bat at it and connects well enough to earn a four of the top edge, Naseem knows he could have dived better, made the ground but the finishing work wasn't too tidy at deep third

Hung in the air for a while and Joy snaffles it at long-off. Was a full-toss dipping at off, Roy swoops to his right and takes it head height

pace-on snorter of a bouncer on middle, he ducks underneath, Sam Curran has been expensive tonight, conceded 48 in three overs

Slower fuller one arcing back in at middle, down on one knee and forces it to deep backward square

lands it full and wide of off, gets down low and plinked out up and over extra cover for four, deserved a promotion up the order

Low full-toss on middle, spanked, brings his wrists into play and gets low to thrash it away to cow corner, Roy with a desperate attempt to prevent a boundary but the ball wins the race

Manufactures pace for himself and pumps it up for a sisx, half-volley on middle, hits it through the line and clears long-on, leant forward and had a strong base to hit

Over the wicket, shorter rising ball at shoulder, rocks back and deposited over deep square for a 91 meters six!

Curling it in from a shorter length, fifth stump line, mishits it down to long-on, vipers on their way to book a direct ticket to the final and they have got their eyes locked on the silverware

follows his leg-side shimmy and bowls a good-ish length ball into his pads, tucked away towards midwicket
