Slower balls are always dangerous in the modern era Twenty20 format as batters on most occasions are looking to smash the ball hard. Bowlers, precisely the pacers, use the loophole as a trap to trick the batters. This is exactly what happened with Nicholas Pooran in the Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals (LSG vs DC) IPL 2026 match, when a slower delivery from Lungi Ngidi dismantled the stumps.
LSG fell into massive trouble as soon as their middle-order batter Nicholas Pooran was dismissed for only 8 runs, facing 8 deliveries only. Lungi Ngidi, who played a lot of cricket across all formats, knows how to control the swashbuckling batters. Pooran is one of the batters who is well known for his aggressive batting.
Lungi Ngidi's slower delivery bamboozled LSG batter Nicholas Pooran
To counter the attacking batter, Lungi Ngidi, the South Africa international pacer, launched a slower ball, which clocked at 112.4 kph, went through the defence of the left-handed batter. Pooran tried to play the ball on the off, but his bat stuck on the bat, and in the meantime, the ball sneaked past to hit the stumps. Lucknow Super Giants lost their 4th wicket of the night for only 65 on the scoreboard.
