Desert Vipers vs MI Emirates, Qualifier 1, International League T20, 2025-26 - Player Highlights

Usman Tariq to Tom Banton, out Caught by Sam Curran!! Tariq removes the dangerous Banton and he takes a bow in celebration! Banton has a smile on his face. He seems to be signalling something before starting his long walk back. Not sure what that was about. This is a slow length ball wide of off, carrom delivery perhaps, and the pull shot is mistimed to long-off. Tom Banton c Sam Curran b Usman Tariq 63(27) [4s-6 6s-4]
