Pooran, whose form had taken a hit in the second half of the tournament, returned to his best by blasting an unbeaten 56 off 27 deliveries. Marsh was dismissed for 117 off 64 balls eventually. LSG skipper Rishabh Pant replaced him and scored an unbeaten 16 off six balls.
For the Titans, only Arshad Khan and Sai Kishore were amongst the wickets. Although the Titans have qualified for the playoffs and the Super Giants are out of the race, the former will be determined to win to finish in the top two.
