DC vs RCB, IPL 2025, Match 46: Tristan Stubbs' Death-Overs Impetus Lifts Delhi To 162 On Two-Paced Delhi Surface
Delhi Capitals dragged themselves to 162/8 in their allotted 20 overs in the IPL 2025 game against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on what was a slow-paced surface at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. KL Rahul, who had struck an unbeaten 93 against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) earlier in the tournament, struggled to get away. It was the final flourish from Tristan Stubbs that propelled the Capitals to what could be a winning total.
Although Abhishek Porel started the innings with a boundary and the opening partnership was a decent one but the Royal Challengers applied the squeeze in the middle overs. Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma was outstanding in applying the squeeze to keep the ball away from a set KL Rahul. Josh Hazlewood, who led a heroic recovery for RCB against the Rajasthan Royals, was equally sensational, dismissing Abhishek Porel and Axar Patel.
It was after KL Rahul's 41 off 39 deliveries, laced with three boundaries when Stubbs got into his work. The South African batter played some audacious shots, plundering a 15-ball 34 to give the home side a much-required impetus.
