In this episode we reflect on the Desert Vipers confirming their place in the top two of the DP World ILT20 with a 22-run victory over the Dubai Capitals at the Dubai International Stadium.
The win means that after the side’s final group match against the Gulf Giants on Saturday the 4th of February, the Vipers will line up four days later against the other side that finishes in the top two – either the Giants or MI Emirates – for a place in the final on February the 12th.
And even if they lose that match on February the 8th, finishing in the top two means a second bite at the cherry with a play-off against the winner of the third and fourth-placed teams for a berth in the final.
We hear from captain Colin Munro and also Sherfane Rutherford, who was player of the match against the Dubai Capitals as he scored 50 from only 23 balls, including five sixes in one over from Yusuf Pathan. As a match, it really did turn on that match-up.
