Desert Vipers have won the toss and have opted to field
17:30 local, 13:30 GMT, 19:00 IST: Hello and a warm welcome to game 22. Table-toppers Desert Vipers take on the MI Emirates, who are on a two-match losing streak, in Abu Dhabi tonight. We are just a week away from the close of the league stage, and we have five teams competing for three spots. Remember, the Vipers have already qualified and will be aware of sustaining the winning momentum ahead of the all-important playoffs. As for the MI Emirates, a win will take them to the second spot, but they lost two games in two days in Abu Dhabi last week. In both those games, their key batter Pooran got out for a single-digit score and it is a stat that MI Emirates skipper would love to change tonight. The surface has been good for batting and both teams got lots of power-hitters to keep us entertained. Toss and team details to follow shortly, stick around...
