Desert Vipers Form

After narrow defeats to the in-form Guyana Amazon Warriors and the Lahore Qalandars, the Vipers tasted victory by beating the San Francisco Unicorns by nine wickets.

Shadab Khan (4/13, econ 3.25) produced a bowling masterclass in knocking over the Unicorns’ top three batters. Sanjay Pahal (0/21, econ 7.00) was the Vipers’ next best bowler as they restricted the Unicorns to a score of 151/7 off their 20 overs.

The Vipers raced to the win off 16.1 overs for the loss of just one wicket. Saiteja Mukkamalla (52* off 42), Zachary Carter (55 off 29) and Rilee Rossouw (38* off 26) did the business with the bat.

Perth Scorchers XI Form

The Scorchers suffered back-to-back defeats and are on the verge of missing out on a playoff spot if they don’t pull off a win over the Vipers.

Their last match saw them go down to the Unicorns, who are one spot above them at the bottom of the table. The Scorchers did well to limit the Unicorns to 152/8 off their 20 overs, with Brody Couch (3/49) and Sufyan Moqim (3/21) starring with the ball.

D'Arcy Short (43 off 38) was the only top order batter to pass 20 as the Scorchers slipped to 107/8. Brody Couch (23* off 12) hit a four and two sixes in a bid to drag his side over the line but it was too little too late as they fell five runs short of their target.

The Scorchers might look to ring some changes boost their struggling top order, but the Vipers are likely to roll with the same side that beat the Unicorns in their last match
