It’s happy days for the Vipers as not only have the team returned to winning ways with a five-wicket win over the Gulf Giants in Dubai, but in doing so they’ve confirmed their spot in the top two of the league stage and so guaranteed they have two chances to qualify for the final.

The team impressed with the ball against the 2023 champions but it took a classy debut innings of 70 not out from 54 balls by Max Holden to see the team over the line with an over in hand.

Coming up we hear from Max as he talks us through what was a thoroughly impressive first appearance in the tournament for the left-hander. And we also hear from players of the match Wanindu Hasaranga, who produced yet another incredible display with the ball, taking three for 10.

The Vipers now have just one match left in the league stage of the tournament, against the Dubai Capitals in Sharjah on Monday the 3rd of February, ahead of a match against as yet unknown opponents in the qualifier two days later in Dubai. If you want tickets for either of those matches, or any that remain in the tournament then you can purchase them using the link below the podcast description for this episode or at the DP World ILT20’s own website.

The final – and let’s hope the Vipers can make it again this season after finishing as runners-up in the inaugural event in 2023 – will take place in Dubai on Sunday the 9th of February.
