Really strange from DC batters. Stubbs who was on 71 of 25 balls not facing a ball in the final over and running hard two’s and not having strike. The only guy who could have got them close.
Bizarre from Delhi. And a good day for Mumbai finally #DCvMI— Venkatesh Prasad (@venkateshprasad) April 7, 2024
The game may be out of reach but certainly not mathematically out of the equation. Why didn’t Stubbs try to have strike on the 2nd delivery of the last over. Given that he is 71 (25) I reckon he is hitting the ball well 🫤 #MIvsDC

When you are facing MI, more often than not you are batting only 16-17 overs. That’s how special @Jaspritbumrah93 is!
