Mitchell Marsh produced stellar stuff both, with bat and ball, to steal the individual honours and pilot Delhi Capitals to a crucial and resounding eight-wicket victory over Rajasthan Royals on Wednesday that kept his team’s IPL play-off hopes alive.

Good, all-round show

Marsh first helped apply the brakes on the Royals by picking up the wickets of opener Yashaswi Jaiswal and Ravichandran Ashwin for just 25 runs. The tall Australian then came up with a rousing innings of 89 in 62 balls, adorned with seven sixes and five fours, and also put on a century partnership with compatriot David Warner (52 not out) to help Delhi overhaul RR’s modest total of 160 for 6 with 11 balls to spare. The victory enabled Delhi to boost their points tally to 12 with two matches in hand while Royals remain in third spot with 14 points and two games to play.
