Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Delhi Capitals (DC) are locking horns with each other in the 15th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. Delhi’s premier pacer Anrich Nortje, after coming to bowl the 14th over, mistakenly bowled a beamer that clocked 150 kph at Quinton de Kock, which eventually went for six.
Earlier in the game, LSG skipper, KL Rahul won the toss and decided to bowl first as it has been a trend in the tournament so far. The LSG, after receiving a target of 150, was in complete control at the end of the 13th over of the chase, racing to 90/2. They required 60 runs off 42 balls, and Pant brought his premier fast bowler Anrich Nortje into the attack to get a breakthrough. However, it all began in a horrific way as Nortje, who conceded 19 runs off his only over then, started his second spell with a 150 kph beamer.

It was well above the waist of his countrymate Quinton de Kock, who somehow managed to get bat on the ball. De Kock was so lucky that the ball went over the third man, and cleared the ropes by some margin. Nortje apologized to his compatriot after that beamer, but it seemed like the ball went out of his hands due to the dewy conditions at the stadium.
Delhi Capitals (Playing XI): Prithvi Shaw, David Warner, Rishabh Pant(w/c), Rovman Powell, Sarfaraz Khan, Lalit Yadav, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Mustafizur Rahman, Anrich Nortje.

Lucknow Super Giants (Playing XI): KL Rahul(c), Quinton de Kock(w), Evin Lewis, Deepak Hooda, Ayush Badoni, Krunal Pandya, Jason Holder, Krishnappa Gowtham, Andrew Tye, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan.
Here is how the fans reacted to the beamer that went for a six:
If we're being fair, Nortje's no ball should be given two free hits and a strategic time out. Need a few minutes to recover from the trauma of surviving a 150kph beamer.

#DCvsLSG over 13.1 : No ball beamer, QDK with an evasive action somehow accidentally got the ball over third man for 6..
But I tell you had it been Pant as a batter, @bhogleharsha n other INdian Cricket twitter would have hailed That shot as Lunth’s courageous intentional shot— Sumeet Mishra (@sumeetmish) April 7, 2022
Would have been very funny had that beamer ended up as the fastest ball of the game
