Send us a text

In this episode we hear from Head Coach James Foster as he reflects on the four-wicket loss to MI Emirates at the Dubai International Stadium.

The Vipers were well-shackled on a tricky pitch, and after being put into bat they scrambled to 124 for seven, piloted by Dan Lawrence's unbeaten 35 from 34 balls.

In reply, MI Emirates got home with 15 balls in hand, although the Vipers made them work hard for their victory. Dan bowled superbly to take one for 13 in four overs of off-spin, while there were impressive efforts with the ball from Matiullah Khan (two for 18) and Sanjay Pahal (none for 14), both of them bowling for the Vipers for the first time.

James reflects on all those things and plenty more, as well as discussing a calf injury sustained by captain Lockie Ferguson, with Sam Curran taking over leadership duties during the fielding innings.
