Desert Vipers cruised to an emphatic 8-wicket victory over Sharjah Warriorz in the 18th match of the International League T20. Opting to bowl first, the Vipers restricted the Warriors to 151-8 and chased the target comfortably with 31 balls to spare.

Sharjah Warriorz Struggle to Build Momentum

Sharjah Warriorz innings got off to a shaky start, losing both openers, Johnson Charles (1) and Avishka Fernando (2), cheaply. Tom Kohler-Cadmore (42 off 36) and Jason Roy (55 off 38) steadied the innings with a crucial partnership. Roy was the aggressor, smashing 9 boundaries, but wickets kept falling around him.

Khuzaima Tanveer was the standout bowler for Desert Vipers, taking 4 wickets for just 22 runs in his 4 overs. Amir, David Payne, and Wanindu Hasaranga chipped in with a wicket each, ensuring the Warriors couldn’t post a bigger total.

Alex Hales Shines in the Chase

Desert Vipers’ chase was powered by Alex Hales, who played a brilliant unbeaten knock of 77 runs off 42 balls, hitting 7 fours and 5 sixes. Although the Vipers lost Fakhar Zaman (8) and Daniel Lawrence (0) early, Hales found strong support from captain Sam Curran, who scored a quick 54 not out off 34 balls.

The duo added 128 runs for the third wicket, finishing the game in style. Sharjah Warriorz bowlers struggled to contain the run flow, with Adam Milne picking up the only two wickets.

Desert Vipers’ dominant all-round performance ensured their comfortable win, keeping their campaign on track in the tournament.
