Down the ground for a couple - runs that only serve to chip Desert Vipers' convincing victory down to 22 runs. The Capitals were never really in it, truth be told. A professional job by the ILT20 leaders.
Vipers vs DC, 25th Match at Dubai, ILT20, Feb 02 2023 - Match Result
9:49pm: Victory for the Vipers means they have guaranteed themselves a top-two finish. The Capitals, meanwhile, are in need of snookers if they are to break into the latter stages from 5th.
That's all from us. Join us tomorrow for Abu Dhabi Knight Riders against MI Emirates!
Another slowie that Klassen gasps as he reaches down to keep it out having read it late
Clever... but Zampa's ramp only goes for a single with the man back at fine leg
Quality shot from Zampa. Too little too late, of course, but a nice bit of timing over extra cover
Edged past keeper and third who is up in the circle.
A yorker dug out towards long off
A bit more on this by Klassen, but not much. Keeps the strike for the finally over as the ball lollipops and plugs into the vacant just beyond the ring at midwicket
Klassen's greeted by a short delivery and almost gives it straight back to Wood for a caught-and-bowled
Outstanding - and game, you'd think. Wood puts a little extra on this and shapes it into the right-hander. Trims the top of middle stump
Powell's ruing two things there: missing out on a slot delivery and hitting it straight into his standing ankle
Another full-blooded swing... but no dice. Wood pulls his length back and Powell doesn't read it
Perfect start... just! Powell has to put everything behind this one to get it just over the sponge at extra cover
Full ball on the toes gets Powell the opportunity to find a single into the leg side
Chipped down the ground for one. Powell now has to get an odd number...
Brilliant recovery from Atkinson, who aims a yorker at the toes. Powell digs it out down to long on
Crafty from Powell! It's not all power: Atkinson goes full and the West Indian gets down on one knee to lap him down to fine leg
Big! Though not totally in control from Powell, who uses his power to swivel-pull over square leg
Atkinson returns for his last over... and is smeared to the midwicket fence after dropping short
A back-of-the-hand delivery to finish. Swing and a miss from Zampa
