LSG Vs RCB, IPL 2026: Mitchell Marsh Turns Up The Heat With Blazing 49-Ball Ton In Lucknow

Mitchell Marsh lights up the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow with a sensational 49-ball hundred against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in match 50 of the Indian Premier League.

The flamboyant Aussie opener had a mild season until now which reflected on LSG's performance in the tournament and today when he finally came good, he single-handedly took his team to a strong position against an effective RCB bowling line-up consisting of the likes of Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

Marsh placed the fourth ball of the 14th over to the backward point boundary to bring up his second century of IPL (both for LSG) off 49 balls.

He slammed nine fours and same number of sixes during his unbeaten 107 run knock before the rain led to third stoppage in play. LSG are placed in a strong position at 145/1 in 14 overs courtesy of Marsh's brilliant show with the bat.

Marsh Registered His Fastest IPL Fifty

There was rain around the stadium, which is why LSG were put into bat first by RCB, and it looked like a good decision as Bhuvneshwar Kumar got the ball swinging in the air in the first and gave just five runs.

However, Mitchell Marsh had some different plans as he took on RCB's bowling mainstay, Josh Hazlewood, and struck him for two sixes in the 2nd over to get things going for Lucknow.

After that Marsh didn't look back and blazed to his fifty in just 20 balls and followed it by a scintillating century of 49 deliveries.
