Amir gets Cox and they sink further here the Giants

Amir loved that one. Look at his reaction there.

Giants 91/5 off 83 balls.

 

[NYRB]

Erasmus in at 7 and I havent seen him bat too much before.

 

[NYRB]

Erasmus brings up memories now. He batted for Namibia in last years World Cup T20 in Australia.

 

[NYRB]

Gulf Giants finish on 160/7 off their 20 overs against Desert Vipers in Game 19

Abu Dhabi post 183 and they will be quite happy with that target given David Warner has been a bit out of sorts this tournament.

[NYRB]

Game being played in Abu Dhabi

 

[NYRB]

A Desert Vipers win will mean they be back in the Top 2 on the Ladder.

 

[NYRB]

Rayudu struggling again , 9 off 19 balls. He might be cooked even at this level.

 

[NYRB]

With 17 balls left in the innings, Tim David might not get a bat. The guy is a running chicken.

 

[NYRB]

Instead we have to watch an old 39 year old approaching Rayudu milk balls , for a 42 run off 36 ball innings.

MI Emirates have missed a trick here.

 

[NYRB]

Tim David comes out when there are 12 balls in the innings remaining. Gutless.

Not surprised MI Emirates didnt review the Rayudu LBW decision because they wanted him out.

 

[NYRB]

MI Emirates post 188 and Pooran gets the green belt (for being leading runscorer)

 

[NYRB]

Vipers lose 5 in the powerplay in pursuit of this MI Emirates 188.

 

[NYRB]

MI Emirates never really looked threaten and win Game 21 by 30 runs against the Vipers.
