Episode 35 – Match reaction v Gulf Giants with James Foster, Sherfane Rutherford and Colin Munro

This episode of Vipers Voices reflects on the Desert Vipers booking a place in the final of the inaugural DP World ILT20 with a 19-run victory over the Gulf Giants in the Qualifier at the Dubai International Stadium.

The win, after two previous losses to the same opponents in the group stage of the tournament, means the Vipers go straight into the final on February the 12th while the Gulf Giants join MI Emirates and the Dubai Capitals in the battle for the second berth in the decider.

We have reaction from Head Coach James Foster, Captain Colin Munro and also one of the heroes of the match from a Vipers perspective, Sherfane Rutherford, who defied a hamstring injury that forced him to retire hurt by returning to the crease and blasting 37 from just 19 balls.The encounter was, perhaps, the match of the tournament so far and it had more plot twists and drama than a library full of whodunnit mysteries. It all adds up to make this a Vipers Voices that’s well worth listening to!
