A fiery display from Mitch Marsh couldn’t salvage Lucknow Super Giants’ hopes of securing a playoff spot in the Indian Premier League. Marsh’s electrifying innings of 65 runs off just 39 balls, including a massive six that shattered a sponsor’s car beyond the boundary, showcased his power-hitting prowess. Yet, despite his heroics, the momentum slipped away once he departed, leaving LSG short of a competitive total.
Under the guidance of coach Justin Langer, Lucknow posted a challenging 7 for 205, but it was ultimately insufficient. The opposition, Sunrisers Hyderabad, capitalized on the chase with contributions across their batting order. Notably, Abhishek Sharma’s aggressive 59 off 20 balls propelled the team to victory with six wickets remaining and ten balls to spare.
The Sunrisers’ victory was achieved despite missing key player Travis Head, who was quarantined after arriving from Australia due to Covid protocols. His absence was felt, but the team’s collective effort proved dominant in the end, leaving Lucknow’s playoff dreams hanging in the balance.
