Top-two decided, these two teams could face off twice. Hope you enjoyed the taster. The ILT20 Super Saturday continues at Abu Dhabi, Sharjah Warriors are batting against Abu Dhabi Knight Riders. Head over there to catch the action. Ciao.

Shimron Hetmyer, POTM: It was pretty tiring actually, to get out of the room. I was just trying to play with a clear mind. Tough to come out for a must-win game. (His approach) I try to keep it as simple as possible, make sure to watch a few balls and see what the wicket is doing before taking off.

James Vince, Giants Captain: Good performance on the whole. 180 was a good score, was one of the slower pitches. Chased a game against the Vipers previously, toss is less important in a day game. Bowlers did well to pull things back. Coming back from pressure has been a big plus for us. Hales' wicket was big, took a sting out of them. How people will pull up will dictate whether we experiment or not.

Colin Munro, Vipers Captain: Losing's never easy but the way we went about it was disappointing. We were poor in the field, but luckily finish in the top two. The drops are flabbergasting, maybe it's not paying attention in the right time. You win and lose games but it's the attitude that counts. Giving bowlers a go, Curran rested with the ball gave a few combinations for us to think about. Rohan Mustafa has been great, looks like he's a cat on a hot-tin roof sometimes when he gets out but has done well.

5:52pm: Handshakes all round as Giants complete a 25-run win to secure a spot in the first qualifier. The innings lifted off and went down a cliff. Drakes and Brathwaite were punished early on, Hales was muscling them. Mustafa was clearing the front leg and tried slapping or carving everything. That worked till Jordan and Co cut the carnival short. He was nicked off, The 17-year-old Aayan slowed it and kept the full ball away from Hales' arc. The opener holed out to deep midwicket and the downslide picked up pace. A couple overs of spin made way for Wiese and Jordan's mix-ups of paces and lengths. Howell and Curran looked to build a stand but failed. Curran kept trying till the end and made a chancy 42* but Giants fell well short.

Brathwaite to Lintott, 1 run, Same ball essentially. Swiped off the edge to long-on.

Brathwaite to Curran, 1 run, Slow, full and outside off. Curran tries to muscle it over extra. Off the bottom goes the skier, lands safely at cover. They finally take the single.

Brathwaite to Curran, no run, Low fully on middle, Curran bows low and tries to drive it. Falls over, inside edge off the flick takes it to deep square. Goes halfway down for the single but decides to go back.

Brathwaite to Curran, no run, Back of length over the stumps, slapped to long-off. Off the bottom, along the ground. Curran says no to the single.

Brathwaite to Curran, no run, Misses and that should be the game. Fullish ball on leg, Curran tried to whip it square like he did last time and missed. Late review called for. Curran's front leg was well outside leg, the ball's hit him on the knee-roll. The impact is outside leg.
19.1
0
Brathwaite to Curran, no run, Misses the flick, hits pad and fizzles towards square leg. Run denied. Length on leg, tried to work it fine.

Brathwaite, in his first game of the tournament, has the ball, 28 needed. Surely a bridge too far. Curran's trying his best, can he pull off a miracle?
