Marsh hits century as Lucknow ends 6-match losing streak in Indian Premier League
LUCKNOW, India (AP) - Mitchell Marsh hit an aggressive century to help last-place Lucknow Super Giants snap a six-match losing streak with a win over defending champion Royal Challengers Bengaluru in a rain-affected Indian Premier League game Thursday.
In the nine-run victory on DLS Method, Marsh smashed 111 off 56 balls with nine sixes and nine fours in Lucknow's total of 209-3 after the game was reduced to 19-overs-a-side due to rain interruptions during Lucknow's innings and Bengaluru's target was revised to 213.
Virat Kohli fell for a two-ball duck in Bengaluru's chase of 203-6 when his off stump was knocked over by Prince Yadav (3-33) in the second over. Captain Rajat Patidar smacked 61 off 31 balls while Tim David (40), Krunal Pandya (28 not out) and Romario Shepherd (23 not out) also played cameos to bring Bengaluru close to the target.
Bengaluru stayed at No. 3 on the points table. Lucknow remained at the bottom of the table after its third win of the season.
