Desert Vipers registered a seven-wicket win over Sharjah Warriors of their earlier conflict of the International League T20 on Sunday. After opting to bowl first, the Colin Munro led-side restricted the Warriors at 145/5 after Tymal Mills registered sensible figures of 1/11 in 3 overs. For Sharjah, Joe Denly and Mohammad Nabi remained unbeaten on 36 and 34 runs, respectively. Later, Vipers have been lowered to fifteen/2 in 2 overs earlier than Alex Hales (83*) and Sam Billings (49) stitched an enormous partnership of 128 runs and took their aspect throughout the road with seven wickets in hand.

However, a weird second turned the spotlight of the match after Vipers pacer Sheldon Cottrell threw a wayward supply to Tom Kohler-Cadmore, who made an additional effort and smashed it to ship the ball throughout the boundary line. The incident fetched a stunning response from former India batter Virender Sehwag, who was doing the Hindi commentary within the match.

“Aaj kal tohfe aise mil rahe hein jinka koi hisab nahi. I wish ki hamare time mein bhi tohfe aise milte. (Gifts offered these days are countless. I wish in our times we could have had these gifts),” said Sehwag during the match.

Unfortunately, Kohler’s effort went into vain as the umpire declared the delivery as a dead ball. According to MCC law 21.8, “If the ball delivered is so far from the pitch that the striker would need to leave the pitch to attempt to play the ball, without having previously touched the bat or person of the striker, the umpire shall call and signal No ball and immediately call and signal Dead ball.”

Sharjah Warriors will now be going up in opposition to MI Emirates on Tuesday whereas Desert Vipers will probably be squaring off in opposition to Abu Dhabi Knight Riders on January 20.
