Marsh's Ton Propels LSG to 235 Against GT

Mitchell Marsh's maiden IPL century came a trifle late but became the cornerstone of Lucknow Super Giants' imposing score of 235 for 2 against league toppers Gujarat Titans in an Indian Premier League match here on Thursday.

Marsh, who has already scored five half-centuries this season, was slow off the blocks but then muscled the Titans bowlers with great gusto as he hit 10 fours and as many as eight maximums in his 64-ball 117.

As it has been a familiar story this season, LSG looked a different batting unit with their top three batters in Marsh, Aiden Markram (36 off 24 balls) and the mercurial Nicholas Pooran (56 not out off 27 balls) belting the Titans bowling unit clad in lavender jerseys.

Pooran's fifth half-century of the season came in just 23 balls.
