The International League T20 tournament (ILT20) in UAE has given the fans multiple moments of entertainment. And the most recent one came in Match No.25 between Desert Vipers and the Dubai Capitals at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.  

The match was played on February 2^nd and after winning the toss, Dubai Capitals invited Colin Munro-led Desert Vipers to bat first. While Sam Billings played a brilliant knock scoring 54 runs off 48 balls, it was West Indian Sherfane Rutherford who stole the show completely thanks to his big hitting as he scored an unbeaten half-century, taking Vipers to 182/7 in 20 overs.

The assault by Sherfane came in the 16^th over bowled by Yusuf Pathan after he got the strike off the first ball. Rutherford then hammered the former India all-rounder for five back-to-back sixes, peppering the leg-side boundary and hitting straight as well. The Vipers scored 31 runs in the over.
