Shane Dowrich on a nervy win against Perth Scorchers!

It’s back-to-back wins for the Vipers in the ExxonMobil Guyana Global Super League, this time beating the Perth Scorchers XI – but this win was by the narrowest margin, just one wicket.
Shadab Khan’s side restricted the Australian team to 112 for six but really struggled to chase that score down and it took last man Vitel Lawes in partnership with Nathan Smith to add 12 runs for the 10th wicket to get the side over the line.
Coming up we hear from assistant coach Shane Dowrich as he talks us through the nervy end to the match and plenty more besides.
The win means that the only way the Vipers can be denied a spot in the play-offs is if the San Francisco Unicorns win and win well against the Lahore Qalandars on Wednesday, the final day of the group stage of the competition.
If the Vipers make it through then they will play in the Qualifier on Friday night with the final the following evening.
