Sam Curran and Khuzaima bin Tanveer after victory over the Sharjah Warriorz

We’re reflecting on a sixth win in seven matches for the Vipers as the side secured back-to-back wins against the Sharjah Warriorz.

After a ten-wicket win in Dubai, this time it was an eight wicket win with 31 balls to spare.

We hear from Sam Curran, standing in as captain for Lockie Ferguson, who scored an unbeaten 54 in only 34 balls, and also Khuzaima Bin Tanveer, the UAE fast bowler, who made his debut and took four for 22, winning the player of the match award for his efforts.

The Vipers’ win cements the team’s position at the top of the league table and it appears as though they are nailed on for the play-offs. It also looks likely that one further win will all but guarantee a top-two finish in the group stage, providing two chances to qualify for the final, in Dubai on the 9th of February.

The Vipers’ next match is against MI Emirates in Abu Dhabi on Monday the 27th of January and if you want tickets for that game, or any the Vipers are playing this year, then you can purchase them using the link below the podcast description for this episode or at the DP World ILT20’s own website.

The Vipers’ three remaining matches in the regular season are split between the tournament’s three venues – Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi.
