I just played a match where by changing some numbers, that could have happen.
It's always in end game, and you play like 9/6 or better, and the opponent have no card played on it: they can't do a color run, three of a kind, color, and strangly can't do a run neither. And so your opponent will be playing sum there.
If their hand isn't that strong, 9/6 can be enough to win win in theory.

Can you do that?
If yes, do you have an example where that matter?

Thanks

You must have 3 cards at a stone to claim it.
In some cases you can logically prove that a stone will be yours even though you've only played 2 cards. E.g. you have 9-6 (wild rabble) and your opponent has 1-4 (provably weaker wild rabble).

Nonetheless you cannot yet claim the stone, because the English rules explicitly say that "you must have a complete three-card group on your side of the respective boundary-stone." You need to play a 3rd card before you can claim it.
