Between Marsh's brutality and Pooran's flamboyance, LSG have found a batting axis that's not just working, but redefining their chances this year

Kolkata: It’s staggering that in a match which witnessed 70 boundary hits, Lucknow Super Giants scraped through by just one boundary. Even more startling was how Mitchell Marsh’s strike rate of 168.75 ended almost as a footnote to Nicholas Pooran’s 36-ball 87 (SR 241.66).

However, the move did not get the desired result as Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh got off to a flier. After Markram's departure, Marsh continued the good work and, along with Nicholas Pooran, helped LSG get past 200 in quick time.
