Marsh's century off 49 balls was the second of his IPL career. What made it all the more impressive was the fact that this wasn't an easy wicket, and how he dominated the scoring against some very strong bowlers. The Bison has taken a while to click this season, but this was him close to his very best.

What made Marsh's innings even more impressive was how he batted through a sequence of rain delays – three in total over the course of the first innings, but never too long, only costing a couple of overs. LSG finish with 209/3 in 19 overs, setting a DLS target of 213. (ANI Picture Service)

Key for the LSG innings was Rishabh Pant finding his footing in the death overs.

Rajat Patidar stepped in and spent some time rebuilding with Devdutt Padikkal, before accelerating – at one point hitting 5 sixes in the space of 7 balls to bring RCB right back into the contest out of the blue.
