James Foster and Ali Naseer on the win over MIE – Vipers Voices

It’s a happy podcast this time as we have a reaction after the Vipers’ second win of this season’s DP World ILT20, one secured by the narrowest of margins – by two wickets off the final ball in an absolute thriller against MI Emirates at the Dubai International Stadium.

We hear from head coach James Foster and also UAE all-rounder Ali Naseer, who took a game-changing catch to dismiss MI Emirates captain Nicholas Pooran.

The result lifts the Vipers off the bottom of the table but it really couldn’t be any closer at the halfway point of the group stage as the team is one of four sides on the same number of points – four, with Sharjah Warriors on six and Mi Emirates on eight. It really does mean it’s all to play for with finals spots very much up for grabs.

This was undoubtedly the match of the tournament and if you’d like to sample some Vipers excitement first-hand then it couldn’t be easier to do so. You can get your tickets at the ILT20 website –www.ilt20.aeand at any Virgin Megastore across the UAE, with the Vipers’ next match against the Dubai Capitals at the Dubai International Stadium on Thursday, February 1st.
