Mitchell Marsh played a remarkable innings, scoring 111 runs off 56 balls, including nine fours and nine sixes, as Lucknow Super Giants set a commanding total of 209/3 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in a rain-affected IPL 2026 match. Rishabh Pant’s quickfire 32 off 10 deliveries added late impetus to the innings, propelling LSG past the 200-run mark.
Lucknow Super Giants, opting to bat first, saw Marsh’s explosive batting display after a cautious start. Despite rain interruptions, Marsh maintained his aggressive approach, taking on both pace and spin bowlers to dominate the RCB bowling attack.
The match witnessed Marsh’s aggressive onslaught, with him reaching his half-century in just 20 balls and eventually scoring the fastest century by an LSG player in IPL history off 49 deliveries. His partnership with Arshin Kulkarni laid a solid foundation for LSG, with Nicholas Pooran also contributing with a brisk 38 runs.
Despite disciplined spells from Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Krunal Pandya, RCB struggled to contain Marsh’s assault, leading to a formidable total posted by Lucknow Super Giants. RCB will now have a revised target to chase under the DLS method, likely around 213 runs.
