Going into the final four overs, SEC needed 56 to win, but crucially, the two Capitals spinners, Keshav Maharaj and Roston Chase, whose eight combined overs had yielded just 50 runs, were done. Capitals skipper Maharaj had to roll the dice, forced to squeeze two overs from either Gideon Peters or Bryce Parsons. Stubbs and Breetzke bided their time, waiting for those moments. But they couldn’t afford to leave too much behind. To that end, the 17th over from Lizaad Williams proved pivotal. Breetzke found a couple of boundaries while Stubbs chipped in with another, tilting the scales ever so slightly.
