The Knight Riders have had a difficult season thus far, having lost their first two games. At the moment, they are seated at the table’s bottom. Six wickets separated the Abu Dhabi-based team from the Gulf Giants in their most recent match. Under pressure, their batting order collapsed, allowing just 114 runs to be scored. The most by any player in the lineup was Andre Russell’s 26-run outing. Despite taking two wickets, Sunil Narine was unable to help his team win.

However, the Vipers’ campaign got off to an excellent start. In their first game, they beat Sharjah Warriors by seven wickets to their delight. Alex Hales scored 83 runs off 52 balls to provide his team with the ideal starting point. The Desert Vipers won easily thanks to Sam Billings’ excellent 49-run outing. Hales was named the match’s best player for his efforts.
