Desert Vipers Team News & Playing 11
VIP Team News
Desert Vipers have a great team at disposal but the players have not fired. However, the team will have to back their players given that those are the ones who can help the team reach the playoffs. We don't see Vipers making changes to the playing XI.
VIP Key Players
- Alex Hales- Alex Hales has found form in the second leg of the tournament. Scores of 44, 49 and 61 in recent matches will get Hales in right space. He is a sort of batter who can slam consecutive centuries when in form.
- Adam Hose- Adam Hose has been brilliant in the tournament. He has scored runs in almost every match of the tournament for the Vipers. However, he has got out in 30s and 40s. The Vipers would need him to convert these starts into big 70s and 80s.
- Wanindu Hasaranga- Wanindu Hasaranga is a match winner with the ball and we all are aware of his skills. He has had a terrific tournament with the ball, taking 11 wickets in 7 games. His economy of 5.8 is best in the ILT20 2024.
VIP Team Form
Desert Vipers have had a poor tournament, winning three and losing four games. The team is not short on quality on paper but the players have not performed as per expectations.
Desert Vipers Predicted Playing 11
Rohan Mustafa, Alex Hales, Colin Munro (c), Azam Khan (wk), Adam Hose, Wanindu Hasaranga, Ali Naseer, Mohammad Amir, Luke Wood, Tymal Mills, Matheesha Pathirana, Sherfane Rutherford (SUB)
