Rishabh Pant and Tristan Stubbs then rebuilt the innings with a crucial partnership of 47 runs. Pant’s innings came to an end as he attempted to increase the scoring rate on a well-made 33. Stubbs though played a clutch innings and helped DC dominate the slog overs and also scored a quickfire 50 off just 22 deliveries. Fifties from Tristan Stubbs and Abishek Porel helped DC brave a middle-overs slowdown and reach 208/4
