Mitch Marsh has launched his IPL season with three big sixes but a substantial defeat too as the Justin Langer-coached Lucknow Super Giants were outclassed by Delhi Capitals, succumbing to a six-wicket defeat.
The Australia T20 skipper Marsh opened his campaign in promising fashion as he clouted 35 off 28 balls, and if he wasn't motoring along at his usual strike-rate, it was only because he had to exercise some caution with wickets tumbling around him.
Four Super Giants wickets had already fallen before Marsh, who had thumped a couple of fours to go with his hat-trick of maximums at Lucknow's Ekana Stadium, finally got deceived by a slow googly from Kuldeep Yadav and sliced one high and not very handsome for Tristan Stubbs to pouch in the 10th over.
