Mitchell Marsh scored a hundred while Nicholas Pooran added another fifty to take Lucknow Super Giants’ score to 235/2 in 20 overs. Shubman Gill’s decision to bowl first back-fired as LSG batters went after the bowlers. Marsh accumulated 117 runs off 64 balls, with the help of 10 fours and 8 sixes. He added 91 runs with Aiden Markram in 9.5 overs, with the latter posting 36 runs.
Marsh them joined hands with Nicholas Pooran, who went berserk at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The southpaw remained not out on 56 runs off 27 deliveries, laced with 5 sixes and 4 boundaries. The two stitched a partnership of 121 runs.
Rishabh Pant, who struggled in the previous matches, played a cameo. Lucknow captain hit 16 runs off 6 balls, packed with two sixes, including a no look maximum.
Arshad Khan and Sai Kishore took a wicket each but all the bowlers were expensive. Rashid Khan was given just two overs after he was taken apart by willow holders.
