England all-rounder Sam Curran made 74 not out as Desert Vipers won their first International League T20 title with a 46-run win over MI Emirates.
After being put into bat, Vipers slipped to 36-2 in the fourth over before Curran put on 89 with Max Holden (41 off 32) for the third wicket.
Curran, who hit eight fours and two sixes in his 51-ball knock, then shared 57 with Dan Lawrence (23 off 15), who was run out off the final ball of the innings.
MI Emirates, who won the tournament in 2024, slipped to 54-4 in reply.
Pakistan’s Naseem Shah picked up two of those wickets, including the key strike of England batter Tom Banton, who hit a match-winning half-century in Qualifier 2.
From there, MI Emirates were also behind the game and were eventually bowled out for 136 in 18.3 overs.
Curran’s knock ensures he finishes the tournament as the top run-scorer (397), while Afghanistan’s Waqar Salamkheil and the United Arab Emirates’ Ajay Kumar finish as the top wicket-taker with 18.
