In the LSG vs RCB clash, Lucknow Super Giants dominated the powerplay and raced to 68/0 in just six overs. Mitchell Marsh destroyed the RCB bowling attack and smashed his half-century in only 20 balls. He attacked pace and spin equally well with powerful pulls, lofted drives, and clever placement shots. Marsh especially targeted Josh Hazlewood and Rasikh Dar by hitting boundaries consistently. 

Arshin Kulkarni supported him smartly by rotating strike and keeping the scoreboard moving without taking unnecessary risks. RCB bowlers mostly bowled predictable hard lengths outside off stump and failed to use enough yorkers or slower balls. Even the rain break could not stop Marsh as LSG stayed fully in control during the power play.
