That innings didn’t last long. Boult knocked D’Kock’s stumps on the third ball. The South African batsman did not understand the New Zealand pacer’s ball. Lucknow lost another wicket in the next over. Marcus Stoinis, the century scorer of the previous match, returned this time. He did not understand Sandeep Sharma’s swing ball.Rahul and Deepak led the team in the face of danger. Lucknow’s pitch is already slow.
The ball was not hitting the bat very well. As a result, it was understood that there is no possibility of big runs on this pitch. Rajasthan bowlers were also bowling controlled. Meanwhile, Rahul and Deepak continued to make use of the opportunity to run. Deepak returned to 50 off 31 balls but Rahul was playing.The Lucknow captain returned in the 18th over.
