Marsh scored 117 off 64 balls, studded with 10 boundaries and 8 sixes, while Pooran made a blazing 56 not out off 27 deliveries as the duo shared a 121-run stand for the second wicket.

In all LSG batters hit 17 sixes, which is their highest in an IPL match.

Captain Rishabh Pant (16 not out off 6 balls), who has had a torrid season till date in his brief stay, hit a straight six off Kagiso Rabada. It also had a signature “no look” six behind the square off the penultimate delivery of the innings.

91-run stand

Marsh was especially harsh on GT spinner Rashid Khan in the 12th over, taking him for 25 runs, including two sixes and three boundaries, as the Australian reached the 100-run mark off 56 balls.

Earlier, Marsh also shared a 91-run opening-wicket stand with Aiden Markram (36).

GT have already secured a playoff berth, while LSG have been eliminated from the playoff race.
