The Desert Vipers booked their place in the DP World ILT20 season 4 playoffs with a five-wicket win over the Dubai Capitals at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday.

It was also a moment of history for the Vipers, who became the first team to win six consecutive matches in the DP World ILT20.
After the Capitals posted a challenging 166/4, the Vipers rode on the all-round performance of Sam Curran to seal the win.
He took two crucial wickets with the balls, and followed it up with an unbeaten 52 off 33 balls, smashing two fours and three sixes.
Max Holden (34 off 22) set the tempo early, with Fakhar Zaman (14 off 12) providing brief support before Mustafizur Rahman struck in the fifth over to take his wicket.
Despite the breakthrough, Holden kept his cool, allowing the Vipers to reach 50/1 at the end of the powerplay.
