ILT20 | Twitter reacts to Shaheenās splendid spell going in vain as Desert Vipers thrash Gulf Giants in Dubai
After suffering losses in their respective previous games, last season's finalists locked horns at the Dubai International Stadium. Pakistan speedster Shaheen Afridiās 3/22 couldn't take the defending champions Gulf Giants across the line as they suffered a defeat to Desert Vipers by six wickets.
After Munroās early departure in the second over, the Vipers' batting unit seemed shaky as they struggled to a score of just 24/1 at the end of the powerplay, of which Alex Hales had contributed 21 runs. However, the Vipers showcased real grit thereafter with Adam Hose and Hasarangaās exemplary partnership of 57 runs powering the innings to 98/3 in 13 overs. Azam Khan's commanding approach gelled well with Hose and fuelled the Viper's batting to a comfortable six-wicket win.
