In a low-scoring encounter, South Africa chased down India’s total of 124 runs with just one over to spare. Initially, it looked grim for the Proteas as they struggled at 86/7, but Stubbs, alongside Gerald Coetzee, displayed exceptional composure under pressure. Their partnership was vital in steering South Africa to victory.

After the match, Irfan Pathan took to X to commend both Stubbs and Coetzee. He noted, “While batting, India only got 9 runs in the last 2 overs. I thought the match could have gone away from South Africa there if the end was better. Tristan Stubbs is a very dangerous player. He has unbelievable reach. Gerald Coetzee’s power hitting in the end was crucial for SA.” 

Stubbs played a pivotal role in the chase, remaining not out with 47 runs off 41 balls. His partnership with Coetzee proved decisive as they navigated through pressure and guided South Africa home with one over to spare.
