IPL 2026: Marsh’s 96 Powers LSG To 220/5 Despite RR’s Late Fightback

Lucknow Super Giants: Opening batter Mitchell Marsh fell four runs short of a deserved century, but his blistering knock, coupled with Josh Inglis’ 60 and their strong partnership, laid the foundation for Lucknow Super Giants’ imposing 220/5 against Rajasthan Royals in their must-win Indian Premier League (IPL) clash at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Tuesday.

On a batting-friendly surface, LSG’s top order tore into Rajasthan’s attack from the outset, with Marsh and Inglis producing a breathtaking opening partnership that left the hosts chasing the game for large parts of the innings. While Rajasthan pulled things back slightly in the middle overs through young leg-spinner Yash Raj Punja, Marsh’s sustained assault and a late flourish from Rishabh Pant ensured LSG crossed the 220-mark.

Asked to bat first, LSG wasted no time taking the aggressive route. Marsh welcomed Jofra Archer with a four and a six in the opening over before Inglis joined the carnage against debutant Sushant Mishra. The Australian wicketkeeper-batter smashed a 99-metre six and followed it up with a flurry of boundaries as Rajasthan’s bowlers struggled for control.
