Mohammad Amir to Andries Gous, OUT! Run out at the bowler's end! That is the worst way to get out but you should not have any sympathy with the non-striker. He has no business venturing out of the crease so much. Coming to the delivery, it's full and on middle, Gous drives it straight back and Amir goes down to stop the ball. It flicks his fingers and speeds away to hit the stumps at the other end. The third umpire is referred and the replays confirm the touch from the bowler and also show that Clarke is too much outside the crease as he fails to drag his bat in despite a good stretch. First blow to the Knight Riders.

Mohammad Amir to Andries Gous, FOUR! Crispy! Back of a length, around off and angling away, Gous stays put inside the crease and caresses it through the gap between backward point and point for a boundary.

Shaheen Afridi to Andries Gous, FOUR! This one comes out of nowhere. Shaheen is a bit too straight with his line, it's an inswinger and Gous does well to use the swing to his advantage. He flicks it through the gap at mid-wicket and finds the fence. Spoils a maiden.

Mohammad Amir delivers it on a driving length outside off, at 137.4 kph, Andries Gous is lured into the shot and attempts to stroke it through the line. The ball though takes a faint edge and Azam Khan makes no mistake. The finger goes up and Abu Dhabi Knight Riders lose their second wicket inside the Powerplay. 138 needed off 98 balls.

Wanindu Hasaranga to Sam Hain, OUT! PLUMB IN FRONT! Wanindu Hasaranga continues to pick up wickets in the ILT20. He dishes out the googly now, full and on middle, turns in a bit and skids through as well. Sam Hain gets stuck at his crease and tries to work it away but he is very late. The ball hits him on the pads right in front of the stumps. A huge shout for LBW, Wanindu in fact is running to celebrate as he is sure...and up goes the finger. Abu Dhabi Knight Riders lose their third inside the Powerplay.

Wanindu Hasaranga to Imad Wasim, OUT! CAUGHT! Needless from Imad Wasim and he has given an opening to Desert Vipers. Flighted and full, around middle, Imad attempts to go downtown but doesn't get the proper connection. It's a simple catch for Sherfane Rutherford near the fence at long on. The 79-run stand is broken and is there a glimmer of hope for the Vipers? 42 needed off 33 balls.
