Akeal Hosein’s seductive armball removes Nitish Kumar for ducks
Early in Lakr’s difficult 197 chase, Hosein produced a delivery that would be replayed for several weeks. With his second ball alone, Hossain unleashed a ball of evil one-stitched arms that horned from the outside, stitched sharply, crashing Nitish’s defenses and uprooting the stump in the middle. Kumar is lowering the wrong line from his hind legs, but is confused when the ball sneaks into the gap in his bat pad.
This wicket puts Rakur on his hind legs with 2 at 10, and Hoshin now has a hat trick. Delivery was not just a technical masterclass, it was a psychological blow. Lakr’s top order never fully recovered from the early double strikes. Hosein’s two-man figures of 10 in three overs highlighted his domination, and his spell was at the heart of Texas tensions during power play.
