KL, De Kock take calculated risks

April 19, 2024 21:57

LSG 43-0 (5 Ovs) vs CSK 176-6 | Scorecard

Mustafizur Rahman enters the bowling attack for CSK, immediately appealing for an lbw decision, but the umpire remains unmoved. De Kock manages to pick up a single off the first delivery.

Rahul then unleashes a powerful shot, hammering the ball back past the bowler for a boundary, adding to LSG's total.

The battters opt for singles for the remainder of the over, keeping the scoreboard ticking steadily. In total, 8 runs come from Rahman's over, taking LSG to 32-0 after 4 overs.

There's a change of ends for Tushar Deshpande. Rahul wastes no time in asserting his dominance, whipping Deshpande for four runs with a well-timed shot.

However, Deshpande manages to keep things tight for the next few deliveries. A leg bye is called, followed by a dot ball as KL Rahul mistimes his shot.

De Kock misses the next delivery, but manages to defend the following one. However, he finishes the over in style, slamming the last ball into the stands for a massive six!

In total, 11 runs come from Deshpande's over, as LSG reach 43-0 after 5 overs. They now require 134 runs from 90 balls to win the match.
