A brilliant piece of fielding from Cooper Connolly sent back Tristan Stubbs after a massive mix-up between the experienced South African and the Delhi Capitals captain. This broke the partnership for the fourth wicket, which was starting to look good for the Capitals.
Delhi Capitals made a poor start to their innings and lost wickets early in the game. However, they bounced back with contributions from captain Axar in partnership with Tristan Stubbs.
Cooper Connolly’s brilliance on the field sent Tristan Stubbs back to the dugout
Tristan Stubbs struggled with the flow of runs as he was dismissed once earlier too off the bowling of Australian fast bowler Ben Dwarshius, who made his season debut for the Super Kings. He was dismissed by Arshdeep Singh.
However, in the very next over against the same bowler, a massive misunderstanding between him and his captain Akshar led to his dismissal. Connolly quickly reached the ball, and Stubbs was halfway down the track; He aimed at the stumps and a direct hit ensured his dismissal.
This broke a promising 40-run partnership between the Capitals captain and the South African legend, who was not looking in great form and could have been dangerous if he had remained at the crease for a longer period.
