The Kolkata Knight Riders and the Delhi Capitals will battle it out at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. The spectators in Kolkata witnessed an intense encounter between these two teams. After being dominated by the KKR bowlers, Delhi Capitals started the second innings with a setback. Lizaad Williams sets an unwanted record by conceding the most expensive first over of Tata IPL 2024, surpassing Shamar Joseph’s previous mark.
Unwanted record by Lizaad Willians:
In the crucial encounter between Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders, Delhi captain Rishabh Pant’s decision to bat first did not yield the desired results as their batting line-up struggled to get going. However, the real setback came when Lizaad Williams took the ball to bowl the first over of KKR’s innings. In the game against Phil Salt, Williams’ first delivery was sent to the boundary, setting an ominous tone for the over. The second ball brought a single but Williams’ troubles continued as he bowled a no-ball on the third delivery, resulting in a leg-bye for KKR.
The ensuing free kick compounded Williams’ problems as he conceded a goal, giving KKR another opportunity to score freely. Salt took advantage of the free kick and scored a six. The nightmare for Williams continued in the following game as Salt reached the boundary again, further denting Delhi’s hopes. By the end of the over, Williams had conceded 23 runs, making it the costliest over in IPL 2024 and posing a formidable challenge for the Delhi bowlers.
Lizaad Williams surpassed Shamar Joseph’s record for the most expensive over in IPL 2024. Joseph’s first IPL over was marred with difficulty as he bowled 10 balls, including consecutive wides and a no-ball. The over ended with a six-off free hit, resulting in Joseph conceding 22 runs, a record broken by Williams.
