The ongoing ICC World Cup 2023 has finally gotten exciting with a couple of close finishes and one wicket win. However, still, the tournament has been batter-friendly. There have been multiple scores of over 380, two scores of 399, and the highest-ever team total in the World Cup of 428 scored in the tournament.&nbsp;&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>

On the other side of the coin are the surfaces where the batters have struggled a lot. One such pitch has been at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. England was bowled out for 129 against India, while Australia managed just 177 against South Africa. <o:p></o:p>

Keeping this in mind, here are the four batters who didn’t manage to trouble the scorers during their matches at the Lucknow venue in this ODI World Cup 2023. <o:p></o:p>

Here are the 4 Batters Dismissed for a Duck in Ekana Stadium, Lucknow in World Cup 2023:<o:p></o:p>

This happened during the Australia vs. <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-teams/sri-lanka/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sri Lanka</a> match in Lucknow on October 16. Kusal Mendis won the toss and chose to bat first. Pathum Nissanka (61) and Kusal Perera (78) did well for a good start, but the rest of the Lankan batting failed as they managed 209 runs. Adam Zampa picked up four wickets.<o:p></o:p>

In response, while Mitchell Marsh scored 52, Dilshan Madushanka removed two of the most experienced Australian batters for cheap. He got David Warner LBW for 11 and 4 balls later, dismissed Steve Smith for a duck, also LBW. Smith was hit plumb in front of the middle and leg and was given out.<o:p></o:p>

3. Virat Kohli<o:p></o:p>

This exciting clash in Lucknow between India and England was played on October 29, 2023. England was coming off a drubbing from Sri Lanka and was looking to bounce back. Jos Buttler won the toss and chose to bowl first in Lucknow. And his bowlers did well removing Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, and Shreyas Iyer for single-digit scores. <o:p></o:p>

While Rohit Sharma’s 86 and Suryakumar Yadav’s 49 took India to 229/9, it was the wicket of Virat Kohli that caught everyone’s eyes. David Willey had set up Kohli very well, as he was kept quiet for 6 consecutive deliveries. Kohli’s patience gave way and in an attempt to hit the ball over mid-off, he was out caught by Ben Stokes for a duck.

2. Joe Root<o:p></o:p>

This dismissal of Joe Root happened in the same match against India in which Kohli got out for a duck. England was set to chase just a 230-run target and felt that they had a chance. But it was not to be as Jasprit Bumrah had other ideas. He first dismissed Dawid Malan as the batter inside-edged a ball onto his stumps.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>

And the very next ball trapped Joe Root right in front of the stumps. Root tried to flick the ball onto the leg side and was hit in front of the stumps. Root went for DRS and while the ultraedge didn’t show any spikes, the ball was crashing into the stumps. Joe Root was dismissed for a golden duck.<o:p></o:p>

1. Ben Stokes<o:p></o:p>

India’s demolition job in that match in Lucknow against England continued. Mohammad Shami had gotten rid of Jonny Bairstow after Bumrah’s initial burst. Much was expected of Ben Stokes, but it was not to be as he was dismissed by Shami for a 7-ball duck. Shami set up Stokes beautifully by taking the ball away from him by bowling length and then bowled one a bit fuller. As Stokes tried to swat him on the off-side, the ball just smashed into his stumps. India went on to win the match by 100 runs.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>
