Mitchell Marsh delivered a batting masterclass to notch up his maiden IPL century, guiding Lucknow Super Giants to a morale-boosting 33-run victory over playoff-bound Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Thursday. The win snapped LSG’s four-match losing streak, though it came after they were already eliminated from the playoff race.

Marsh played a scintillating innings, smashing 117 off just 64 balls in a display of raw power and clean timing. His knock featured 10 boundaries and 8 towering sixes, anchoring the LSG innings with authority. Supporting him with equal aggression at the death was Nicholas Pooran, who remained unbeaten on a fiery 56 off 27 deliveries. The duo combined for a 121-run stand for the second wicket, taking apart Gujarat’s bowling unit with remarkable ease.
