IPL 2025: Marsh, Markram Shine as LSG Post 203 Despite Hardik Pandya’s Fifer

Lucknow Super Giants put up an imposing total of 203 for 8 in their IPL clash against Mumbai Indians on Friday, thanks to fiery half-centuries from openers Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram.

Marsh hammered a quick 60 off just 31 balls, while South African star Markram contributed a steady 53 from 38 deliveries. The duo shared a crucial 76-run partnership, laying the foundation for a big total at home.

Despite a stunning five-wicket haul from MI captain Hardik Pandya (5/36), which included key dismissals like Nicholas Pooran (12), Rishabh Pant (2), Markram, David Miller (27), and Akash Deep (0), LSG batters kept the scoreboard ticking.

Rohit Sharma, Mumbai’s former skipper, missed the match after suffering a knee injury during nets.

Brief Scores:
Lucknow Super Giants – 203/8 in 20 overs
