We have depth in bowling, says Lucknow Super Giant’s batter Mitchell Marsh

The star batter says 230 is now the new par score in most grounds

Hyderabad: Lucknow Super Giants’ star batter Mitchell Marsh says he doesn’t believe that his team lacks depth in bowling attack as the team prepares to take on Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL league match here on Thursday.

In the pre-match briefing, Marsh said he had certainly come to the IPL after a bit of a break. “I’ve had a few months to get my back right and I’ve come here really fresh mentally and physically. So hopefully that holds me in good stead for the tournament,” he said.

On the SRH batting line-up, Marsh said they knew they would be going to come hard. “I think there’s not many T20 teams in the world now that don’t go hard from ball one and try to apply as much pressure as they can to a bowling team. So we know we’re going to be under pressure at some point tomorrow night,” he said.

“There’s no doubt that Sunrisers have put a lot of teams under pressure, but I think that’s any team these days. It seems 230 is now the new par score in most grounds. So, we respect that they’ve got a phenomenal batting line-up with a lot of power, but we’re here to focus on our game and hopefully match it with them,” Marsh concluded.
