KnightRiders vs Vipers, 7th Match at Dubai, ILT20, Jan 18 2023 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Vipers won by 7 wickets (with 26 balls remaining)
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders have been torn apart in this chase. It was one-way traffic all throughout the chase as Mustafa and Hales started off well for the Vipers. The Knight Riders tried to pull back through Hosein, who was the lone bright spot for the Narine-led side. Hales and Billings stitiched a 74-run partnership and that was the game changer as they negotiated the spinners for the Desert Vipers. The two Englishman played safe and took minimal chances. When Narine got better of opener Hales, it was a little too late. That's it from my side, Sarthak S Karkhanis. Stay tuned to ESPNcricinfo for all the updates
