The Desert Vipers are taking on the Gulf Giants in the fifth match of the ILT20 2025. The match is being played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai, UAE. 

The Desert Vipers won the toss for the game and opted to field first. The decision by the skipper was proven right by Mohammd Amir as he picked up a wicket in the first over to rock the Gulf Giants.

The Set Up By Mohammad Amir

Mohammad Amir was known for his thinking mind and high level of skills from his younger days. The Pakistani pacer put his brilliance on display once more in this game.

 In the first over of the innings, Amir bowled a length delivery wide of off-stump. This dreaw Adam Lyth into an aggressive cut shot towards the point region for a single. Even though the strike changed Amir had set up Lyth for the next time he faces him.

The Wicket Of Adam Lyth

It happened so that in the third delivery of the over, Aamir bowled a similar length. But this time the ball was closer to the off stump and came back in to the batter.

Adam Lyth had no clue of the late movement and tried to defend the ball off the front foot on the line of the delivery. The late movement helped Amir beat Lyth's bat and wrap him on the pads. There was a big appeal for the leg before and the umpire had no hesitation in raising the finger.  

The skill on show by Amir reminded many of the legendary Wasim Akram. During his time, the former Pakistani bowler showed similar skills and intelligence to make life hard for the best of batters.
