Marsh\u2019s explosive innings powered LSG to 209\/3 in the rain-curtailed 19-overs-a-side contest, a total that eventually proved just enough as the hosts restricted RCB to 203\/6 while chasing DLS adjusted 213 runs target, despite a fierce late fightback.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI wanted to try and get us off to the best start possible. Yeah, I just tried to impact the power play as much as I could. It's probably been an area that we\u2019ve struggled in this year so far, consistently. So, I wanted to try and get us off to the best start possible, and then once I got in, sort of try and cash in and pretty much just get as many runs as I could,\u201d Marsh said in a video released by IPL on X.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Marsh dominated the RCB attack from the outset and stitched together a crucial 70-run partnership with Nicholas Pooran despite multiple rain interruptions during the innings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI think like anybody, just try and be really clear, have your plans and try and execute it. It was a bit of a stop-starting night, but I managed to form that partnership with Nicky when we came off a few times and get us to a really competitive total, and we needed all of that 213 or whatever it was,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Australian all-rounder also reserved special praise for young pacer Prince Yadav, who played a decisive role with the ball by finishing with figures of 3-33, including wickets of Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal and Jitesh Sharma.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cHe\u2019s super confident in what he does and wants to bowl all the hard overs. So, he\u2019s the joy that you want in your team as a bowler, and it\u2019s been wonderful to watch him go about his business this year,\u201d Marsh said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

However, Prince and Shahbaz Ahmed delivered timely breakthroughs before Digvesh Singh Rathi held his nerve in the final over to seal a tense win for LSG.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
