Man of the match Tristan Stubbs praised his compatriot, highlighting Miller’s composure and experience in high-pressure situations.“Yeah, I was still thinking three sixes and we’re right back in it. And they fired their guns pretty early. So I always thought worst case, the last over, we could get what we needed. But I didn’t want to take it to the last over. But luckily we got over the line. I told him (Miller), I knew we were going to do it. And so luckily I didn’t know the other Miller was over. that’s his bread and butter,” Stubbs said after match.Match Summary: RCB vs DCDelhi Capitals pulled off a thrilling six-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, with KL Rahul leading the charge in a tricky chase of 176.
