Kolkata Knight Riders were penalised for a slow over rate during the closing stages of the match against Lucknow Super Giants, forcing them to bring an extra fielder inside the circle under the playing conditions.<\/p>\n
The sanction came at a key moment, tightening the fielding restrictions for KKR as the game moved into the final overs. With fewer players allowed on the boundary, the margin for error reduced, and the batting side made full use of the opportunity.<\/p>\n
Lucknow scored 16 runs off the penultimate over, putting pressure on the bowling attack. Mukul Choudhary finished the over strongly with a clean strike, while Cameron Green ended his spell with figures of 1 for 28 from his two overs. KKR were penalised because their bowlers did not complete their overs within the allotted time, leading to a slow over-rate sanction from officials.<\/p>\n
The late hitting meant LSG needed 14 runs from the final over, with Vaibhav Arora handed the responsibility to bowl the last six balls.<\/p>\n
The over-rate penalty played a clear role in shifting the pressure towards the bowling side at a crucial stage. Under the rules, teams that fall behind in their over rate are required to bring an extra fielder inside the circle, reducing boundary protection and making it easier for batters to find gaps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
