19.6Khan to S Curran0
Dot ball. 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.
