IPL 2025: Marsh’s Century, O'Rourke’s Three-fer Give LSG 33-run Win Over Top-ranked GT (ld)
Lucknow Super Giants: Opener Mitchell Marsh slammed the fastest century by a Lucknow Super Giants batter in their history of being in the IPL while pacer William O'Rourke picked 3-27, including striking twice in the 17th over, to help the visitors beat top-ranked Gujarat Titans’ by 33 runs at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Thursday.
After Marsh’s 64-ball 117 was the main driving force behind LSG posting a mammoth 235/2, the visitors removed GT’s in-form top three batters within the first ten overs. GT's middle order was finally put to a stern test, and Shahrukh Khan kept them in the hunt by sharing an 86-run stand off 40 balls for the fourth wicket with Sherfane Rutherford.
But O’Rourke’s double strike meant GT finished on 202/9, as LSG won both their games against the hosts this season. Pushed into batting first on a black soil pitch, Marsh was severe on the loose deliveries and showcased some great power-hitting skills to hit his first-ever IPL century, laced with ten fours and eight sixes at a strike-rate of 182.81.
