Both marsh

Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Mitchell Marsh (65) and Aiden Markram (61) blasted identical 28-ball half-centuries and Nicholas Pooran hammered a 26-ball 45 as Lucknow Super Giants posted 205/7 in 20 overs against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Match 61 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the Ekana Stadium here on Monday.

With this being a must-win match for the home side, as they try to ace a three-team race for the final playoff spot, LSG got off to a blazing start but lost the momentum a bit and finished with only the second 200-plus total at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium.

Asked to bat first, Lucknow Super Giants made a superb start in this must-win match as they stormed to 69 for no loss in the Power-play as the M&M (Marsh and Markram) Show continued to make merry.
