IPL 2024: Rahul-Pooran Half-centuries In Vain As Royals Beat Giants By 20 Runs
Chasing the target of 194 built on an unbeaten 82 by skipper Sanju Samson and 43 by Riyan Parag, Lucknow Super Giants struggled early in the inning as Trent Boult struck twice in his consecutive overs dismissing Quinton de Kock and Devdutt Padikkal. In his first over after getting struck for four by de Kock, Boult made a comeback with a fullish delivery outside leg and Nandre Burger took an easy catch at the fine leg.
Boult then removed Padikkal for a duck, who was in his debut inning for LSG. The seasoned pacer from New Zealand went slightly on the shorter side of the length this time while angling it into the left-hander. The ball pitched on or about off stump, and came back in while not entirely taking off from the pitch. Padikkal had shaped to swipe - perhaps seeing the length - and so it was too late by the time he tried to bend.
