In a match-defining moment, Royal Challengers Bangalore once again seized the momentum as a lapse in communication from Delhi Capitals led to the unfortunate dismissal of another key batsman, echoing a similar incident earlier in the game with Jake Fraser-McGurk. This time, Tristan Stubbs found himself on the receiving end of misfortune.
As Axar Patel initially hesitated to take the run, the ball’s lack of distance compelled him to halt Triatan Stubbs, who was already halfway down the pitch. Unfortunately, Stubbs couldn’t retreat in time, falling victim to Cameron Green’s pinpoint throw that struck the stumps directly, mirroring the earlier run-out.
Here is the video of the dismissal:
A bit of mix-up between the batters 🫣
But Cameron Green had no confusion to deliver that throw at the right end 😄👌

Although Rajat Patidar’s resilient half-century anchored RCB’s innings, they fell short of a formidable total. Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals encountered early setbacks in their batting innings, beginning with David Warner’s early exit in the opening over.
The situation deteriorated further with Abishek Porel’s dismissal, leaving Delhi reeling at 24/2 after just two overs. The misfortune compounded when Jake Fraser-McGurk became a victim of an unfortunate run-out in the third over.
