Delhi Capitals' middle-order powerhouse Tristan Stubbs demonstrated why he is considered one of the most dangerous finishers in T20 cricket, delivering a blistering performance for South Africa in their warm-up match against India. Chasing a massive target of 241, Stubbs anchored the late innings with an unbeaten 45 runs from just 21 deliveries, striking at an impressive rate of 214.28.
Although South Africa ultimately fell short by 30 runs, Stubbs' aggressive yet composed knock ensured the chase remained competitive until the final overs. This display of high-impact batting confirms the South African's excellent form, providing a positive outlook for the Delhi Capitals management as they monitor their key overseas players ahead of the next IPL season.
