Explained: How Tristan Stubbs' dismissal in DC vs LSG match highlighted the need for dry balls in IPL
Tristan Stubbs’ dismissal during Delhi Capitals’ chase against Lucknow Super Giants brought the issue of wet balls in IPL matches into focus. Stubbs sent back as dry ball does the trick Before 26-year-old left-arm spinner Manimaran Siddharth clean bowled Stubbs, the South African had smashed the Tamil Nadu cricketer for two consecutive sixes on the first two balls of the 12th over. Stubbs’ wicket shows importance of a dry ball Bowlers have long complained about failing to grip the wet ball during the second innings of a day-night match due to dew. While the two-ball rule was not used in the DC vs LSG match, Lucknow were still able to use a new ball due to Stubbs’ carnage and the trick quickly worked for them, highlighting the importance of a dry ball in creating balance in the second innings in dry-night matches.
