Over 20. 22 runs. Bowler: Zahoor Khan. Desert Vipers: 233/1(rr 11.65)

Zahoor Khan to Sam Curran. Reverse Swing-In yorker, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, missed for no runs, fielded by Banton. That brings us to the end of the first innings, and the Desert Vipers have piled on a mammoth 233 runs on the board. After being sent in to bat, Fakhar Zaman and Andries Gous completely dismantled the MI Emirates bowling attack, stitching together a sensational 157-run opening partnership. Fakhar played the aggressor early, eventually departing for a well-made 69, while Andries Gous was simply outstanding, remaining unbeaten on 120 from just 58 deliveries. Skipper Sam Curran added the finishing touches with a brisk 38, ensuring the Vipers finished with a commanding total. The surface still looks flat and true, so this target could be challenging yet chaseable. Don't go anywhere - the run chase is coming up shortly.

The Desert Vipers complete a big victory and they progress straight into Sunday's grand final. Defending their huge total, it was an impressive bowling display as MI Emirates struggled to get back into the game. Tom Banton gave them hope with an explosive 63, with good support from Muhammad Waseem, but Usman Tariq removed Banton as one of his three victims and from there, Vipers closed out victory, David Payne taking two late wickets. MI Emirates will get a second chance however, as they will face the winning of the Eliminator in Qualifier 2, to decide who faces the Vipers in the showpiece game. Andries Gous has been adjudged Player of the Match for his brilliant century.
