A blazing innings from Mitch Marsh has not been enough to keep Lucknow Super Giants in contention for a place in the Indian Premier League play-offs.
Marsh cracked 65 from 39 balls, with one of his four sixes making a dent in the sponsor's car beyond the boundary. But after his departure LSG, who are coached by Justin Langer, lost momentum to close on 7-205.
That proved far from enough, even with Sunrisers missing Covid-hit Travis Head, who spent the night in quarantine in his hotel room after flying in from Australia.
