Marsh started slowly in the run chase but found his touch and didn't spare the Indian bowlers. He reflected on his team's win and the importance of the toss.
Mitchell Marsh’s team dominated India in the second T20I of the five-match series, registering a 4-wicket win in 13.2 overs. Marsh scored 46 runs and even hit a 124-meter six, showing his power at one of the biggest grounds in the world.
The hosts dismissed the Men in Blue for 125 runs in 18.5 overs, with Josh Hazlewood doing the damage in the powerplay overs. Shubman Gill (5), Sanju Samson (2), Suryakumar Yadav (1) and Tilak Varma (0) were disappointed with the bat. Abhishek Sharma (68) and Harshit Rana (36) were the only positives in the batting department.
Marsh started slowly in the run chase but found his touch and didn’t spare the Indian bowlers. He reflected on his team’s win and the importance of the toss.
“It was a good toss to win. There was a bit of moisture, and Hoff (Hazlewood) is a great bowler. We wanted to take a couple of wickets early. Since the last World Cup, we have build a team of 25 players, who can come in when needed and be a part of the team when needed,” he said.
Adam Gilchrist reminded him of completing 2000 runs in T20Is and his form with the bat.
“I was a bit nervous, but got going in the end. Head took the pressure off me. The remaining three games should be good,” he added.
