IPL 2024: Badoni’s Brilliant Fifty Lifts Lucknow To 167/7 Against Delhi Capitals
Indian Premier League: Spinner Kuldeep Yadav claimed three wickets on his return from injury, but Ayush Badoni's brilliant unbeaten half-century lifted hosts Lucknow Super Giants to 167/7 in 20 overs against Delhi Capitals in Match 26 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the Ekana Cricket Stadium here on Friday.
Batting first on the central spongy pitch, Lucknow Super Giants opener Quinton de Kock started and finished the first over from Khaleel Ahmed with a boundary. Khaleel has been Capitals' best bowler so far this season but his first ball was short and wide, to be carved away over the leaping gully fielder. Though the bowler straightened up his line in response to the boundary, de Kock managed to find a thick inside edge for four more.
De Kock missed a big swing across the line of Khaleel's second over and the finger went up. The ball was heading toward the leg and de Kock went for the DRS - but ball-tracking had it shaving the leg stump. The DRS result came in for the umpire's call, and de Kock departed after scoring 19 off 13 deliveries.
