On Sunday, Desert Vipers defeated Sharjah Warriors by seven wickets in a prior International League T20 matchup. Tymal Mills’s fantastic 1/11 in only three overs helped the Colin Munro-led side restrict the Warriors to 145 for five when they elected to bat. Joe Denly (36 runs) and Mohammad Nabi (34 runs) were still batting unbeaten for Sharjah. However, after being reduced to 15/2 in just two overs, Vipers eventually reached their target thanks to a 128-run stand between Alex Hales (83*) and Sam Billings (49), which allowed them to win with seven wickets in hand.
Vipers pacer Sheldon Cottrell fired a bad delivery to Tom Kohler-Cadmore, who made an additional effort and slammed it to send it beyond the boundary line. This weird event became the highlight of the contest. Former India batsman Virender Sehwag, who was providing Hindi commentary on the game, had a startling reaction to the situation.
Aaj kal tohfe aise mil rahe hein jinka koi hisaab nahi. I hope that in my lifetime, good things come to me. (There is an abundance of present options today. I wish these technologies had been available during our era “asserted Sehwag as the game progressed.
The umpire called a dead ball, therefore Kohler’s effort was wasted. Law 21.8 of the MCC states that “Umpires are required to signal “No ball” and “Dead ball” if the delivered ball is so far from the pitch that the batter-runner must leave the field of play before he may attempt to play it, and the ball has not touched the batter-bat runners or person.
Desert Vipers will now play Abu Dhabi Knight Riders on January 20 instead of Sharjah Warriors, who will instead face MI Emirates on January 16.
