Livingstone Leads Abu Dhabi Knight Riders to One-Run Win Over Desert Vipers

Livingstone’s 76 Powers Abu Dhabi Knight Riders to One-Run Win Over Desert Vipers

The Desert Vipers suffered their first defeat of the season as Abu Dhabi Knight Riders clinched a thrilling one-run victory at the Zayed Cricket Stadium.

Liam Livingstone’s commanding 76 powered the Knight Riders to 181/5 after early setbacks. In reply, Fakhar Zaman (44) and Max Holden (52) gave the Vipers a solid start, adding 53 in the powerplay. However, disciplined bowling from Andre Russell (2/16), Ajay Kumar (2/47) and Jason Holder tightened the screws.

Despite late cameos, the Vipers fell agonisingly short as the Knight Riders held their nerve at the death.
