Marsh hammered a sublime 102 off 58 deliveries, an innings that included a massive six off Chris Jordan on the very first ball he faced. Alongside him, Hardie played a breathtaking supporting role, remaining unbeaten on 94 from just 43 balls. Together, the pair forged a new BBL partnership record for the third wicket, in just 84 balls. Their clinical hitting left the Hurricanes’ bowlers with no answers; even seasoned campaigners like Jordan and Riley Meredith found themselves under siege.
