Mitchell Marsh received Man of the Match award for his 62 balls 89 and 2 for 25 in 3 overs. It was a outstanding all-rounder performance by the right handed explosive batsman.
After receiving Man of the Match award, Marsh said, “It was a tough game. Physically it’s tough when you bowl a bit and bat a bit. Slower balls and cutters, they were tough to score. 160 was par. But it’s about one good partnership. The first four-five overs of powerplay were about as tough a batting as I’ve had in T20 cricket. It was swinging, bit of seam there and there was bounce. Reminds me of Perth Stadium this wicket. Felt like the last couple of games I’ve got back to hitting the ball like I wanted to. I honestly thought I smashed it first, wasn’t worried one bit. Which is probably a good thing because I tend to look guilty when I think I’m out.”
Batting first, Rajasthan Royals posted 160 total on the board. After losing Buttler in the third over, R. Ashwin paced up the innings superbly.
