Chasing 188, LSG completely decimated the CSK attack and Marsh ensured the home side remained on top in the game with his fearless batting display. The Australian all-rounder smashed a 38-ball 90 including 9 fours and 7 sixes, at a striking rate of 236.84.

The right-hander went on to attack almost every bowler and seemed to set up a century until luck went against him in the 12th over.

Marsh's Sensational Knock Cut Short in Unlucky Way

The unfortunate run out took place on the 5th ball of the 12th over. Mukesh Choudhary bowled a full delivery, Nicholas Pooran hit it straight towards the bowler and Mukesh got a hand on it in his follow through. The small deflection was sufficient to knock the stumps at the non-striker's end with Marsh caught well short of his crease while backing up.

The batter realized it instantly and was seen walking back to the pavilion. The crowd in Lucknow seemed disappointed to see such an innings cut short when it was almost certain Marsh was going to score a sensational century.
