Watch: Harris Rauf bowls brilliant delivery to dismiss Quinton De Kock in MCL 2023

Harris Rauf bowled a terrific delivery to dismiss Quinton De Kock in the 4th match of Major League Cricket 2023. The pacer from San Fransisco Unicorns dismissed the batter from Seattle Orcas with a quick delivery, as De Kock had no answer to it.

Seattle Orcas won the toss and elected to bat first in Dallas. Rauf bowled the second over and dismissed the star batter in the fourth delivery of the over. On a slow batting surface, the 29-year-old operated at a good pace and got the better of the batter.

The right-arm quick bowler bowled from over the wicket and used the crease well. As Rauf bowled from wide of the crease, the ball ceased to target the pads of the batter. Instead, the quick delivery from Rauf not just hit the pads of the batter, but also went through the gates and had the batter in no time. A sensational delivery indeed.

The Southpaw tried to slog the ball over the mid-wicket region. But De Kock had no clue from where Rauf delivered the ball. A great pace of 145.8 kmph from the Rawalpindi-born bowler meant that De Kock had fallen to the trap. The bowler roared and celebrated the wicket. A disappointed De Kock returned to the pavilion.

Batting collapse leads to the downfall of Unicorns

Despite losing a star batter like Quinton De Kock, Seattle Orcas did well with the bat. Heinrich Klaasen, who has been in a serious form, was instrumental in helping Orcas to get past the mark of 175. The batting side had a decent score to defend.

Chasing the total, San Fransisco Unicorns were well ahead in the game at one stage, thanks to a ferocious start from the opening pair of Finn Allen and Matthew Wade. One run-out changed the game completely. As a dangerous-looking Finn was dismissed, the collapse started for Unicorns. From 42/0 after 3.1 overs, Unicorns were bundled out for 142 in 17.5 overs, as Orcas dismissed 10 batters for just 100 runs.
