But tristan stubbs

When Delhi Capitals: When Delhi Capitals escaped the middle-overs phase by amassing just 63 runs from it, it seemed the hosts would finish under 200 against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Tuesday evening.

But Tristan Stubbs, DC’s designated finisher, smashed an unbeaten 57 off 25 deliveries, after being seven off nine balls, to take DC past 200, which eventually was the clincher to win their final IPL 2024 league game by 19 runs.

Stubbs' stunning late onslaught and the timing of his acceleration spot-on also saw him smash three fours and four sixes, as the hosts amassed 72 runs off the last five overs, including him taking 21 runs off Naveen-ul-Haq in the 19th over.
