6 crore players eager for runs in IPL, heavy rain on captaincy debut

Highlights

Australia beat South Africa by 111 runs in the first T20I
From Australia, Mitchell Marsh played an innings of 92 runs under the captaincy

New Delhi. The Australian cricket team has gone on a tour of South Africa. 3 T20 series are being played between the two countries. His first match was played in Durban, which Australia won by a huge margin of 111 runs. Captain Mitchell Marsh was the hero of Australia’s victory. Marsh, who came in to bat at number three, took a big hit from the South African bowlers. He did not complete the century but his unbeaten innings of 92 off 49 balls helped Australia post a mammoth total of 226 and the Australian bowlers then bowled tightly to bowl out hosts South Africa for 115 in 15.3 overs. This is Australia’s biggest win against South Africa in T20I in terms of runs.

Mitchell Marsh has been made the captain of Australia for this tour and as soon as he got the captaincy, his bat also started speaking. Australia did not start well in the first T20I. Travis Head fell victim to Marco Jensen on the third ball of the match. After this, captain Mitchell Marsh came out to bat and as soon as he came in, he started a procession of South African bowlers. It was Marsh’s first match as the Australian captain, but the way he batted, it felt like he was the captain. Marsh played his natural game and showed no compunction in sending the bad ball over the boundary.

Mitchell Marsh scored an unbeaten 92 runs
Marsh scored a brisk 70 in the first Powerplay with Matthew Short. Marsh scored 41 off just 15 balls in the Powerplay. He then put on a 52-ball 97-run partnership for the fifth wicket with Tim David to take Australia to a mountain-like score. He completed his half century in just 22 balls. Marsh hit 13 fours and 2 sixes in an innings of 92 runs.

Marsh was a flop in IPL 2023
Let us tell you that Mitchell Marsh was retained by Delhi Capitals for IPL 2023 with a salary of Rs 6.5 crore. But, at a huge price paid by the Delhi team to retain him, he could not perform accordingly. Mitchell Marsh scored only 128 runs in 9 matches in IPL 2023 and scored only one half-century. After this, he received a lot of criticism for the price tag, but after getting the Australian captaincy, his game seems to have changed and he is playing in the same colors he is known for batting.
