Commentary

So, that is it from myself, Karthik Raj, my co-commentator, Ayan Chatterjee and our scorer for this game, Chandan Singh. Switch over to the game between MI Emirates-Dubai Capitals or the SA20 fixture between Pretoria Capitals-Paarl Royals. There is a lot of cricket going on right now.

Shimron Hetmyer: "Yes, pretty much and finally getting a chance to get a good score for the team. I didn't really see it as difficult. The guys have been doing a good job. Today, I needed to perform, and happy to do that. I spoke with Lynny and he said to get 10 an over and the left-hand right-hand combination helped us a lot. The environment is great. We are having a lot of fun and the coaching staff have been fantastic in supporting us and we are doing well and going well."

Shimron Hetmyer is the Player of the Match.

James Vince, Gulf Giants skipper: "Was a great effort to keep them under 200. That partnership between Hetty and Lynny was brilliant. I think if the dimensions were bigger throughout, would have batted first. With shorter boundaries on one side, was a bit easier to chase. Followed a very similar pattern to the last game."

Colin Munro (Desert Vipers Captain): "No nothing like that. The batting was fine. We were bad with the ball and we dropped catches. We went head to head. Two proper teams and it was a close game. It got slower as we went along. We didn't play well and were 10-20 runs short. They did well to keep us down and we lost the crucial moments."

Time for the post-match presentation ceremony.

Sheldon Cottrell: "I think the new ball works for me. It's swinging a lot. I am loving it. Yes, I enjoyed getting Hetty out. He is a wonderful player. They won the match and I won that battle. Yes, enjoying myself here. This is a great tournament to be a part of and hopes to do well. I am enjoying my cricket."

19.3 S Cottrell to D Wiese

1 That's it. There is the win for the Giants. Short of a length into the pitch, Wiese pulls it away uppishly to deep midwicket who puts it down and allows the single to give them the win. So, a win for the Giants by 5 wickets with 3 balls left as they stay at the top of the table with 4 wins in 4 games.
