BENGALURU: Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran continued their rollicking start to the Indian Premier League (IPL) season as the Lucknow Super Giants duo took the top two places in the batting charts with explosive fifties in their win over Kolkata Knight Riders.
Australian Marsh made 81 off 48 balls, his fourth half-century in five innings, while West Indies’ Pooran scored an unbeaten 87 off 36 balls to guide the team to 238-3 before their bowlers secured a four-run win at Eden Gardens on Tuesday.
Marsh has 265 runs for the season, his best tally since his debut in 2010, while Pooran sits top of the run-scoring charts on 288, the pair putting together a 71-run stand against the defending champions.
