Player of the match: Tom Curran as he scored 29 runs in 17 balls and took 4 wickets.

That is the end of the match. Desert Vipers won by 19 runs and qualify for the final. Superb all-round performance by Vipers, Rutherford and Curran ended the innings on high which lift the tempo and nicely defended by the bowlers, specially Hasaranga and Curran took the wickets when Vipers needed, took 3 and 4 wickets each.
