Mitchell Marsh steadied the sinking ship with a handy knock of 31

With the exit of Bell and with half the Scorchers side back in the pavilion, Mitchell Marsh was left with the responsibility of either counter-attacking or at the least, marshalling the lower order to ensure that they bat out the full quota of 20 overs and achieve a defendable target.

Though he was not at his best as far as his big-hitting ability is concerned, Marsh still gutsed it out in the middle, successfully farming the strike from the lower order, and his 29-ball unbeaten 31 was good enough under the circumstances, to take them to 130.
