A 144-run stand between Marsh (89) and David Warner (52*) helped DC register an eight-wicket win against RR here.
At DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai on Wednesday. “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,” said Marsh in a post-match presentation.
