Sunrisers Eastern Cape got a great start as their openers Jordan Hermann and Adam Rossington gave them a blistering start as both of the openers got their fifties. Skipper Aiden Markram too played a crucial knock which helped them to put on a total of 210 runs.
Tristan Stubbs came in to bat at number 4 and chipped in with a quick-fire knock of 27 runs while playing just 13 deliveries. In the 19th over of the Sunrisers’ innings, Stubbs took on Super Giants’ pacer Wiaan Mulder and smashed a gigantic six on the second delivery of his over.
Wiaan Mulder bowled an outside-off delivery right in the slot which allowed Stubbs to extend his arms as he lofted it towards the long-on region. Stubbs made such a clean strike that the ball landed outside the stadium. The onlookers, including the commentators, were stunned by the Stubbs’ gigantic hit.
One of the commentators was heard saying,“Tristan Stubbs sends this one into orbit. What a shot!! It’s out of the ground. Forget about that one.”
