Marsh, whose career has been marred by a series of injuries, twisted his ankle in the second ball while trying to stop a drive by Aaron Finch in his follow-through but managed to bowl two more balls before being ruled out of bowling.

He later came to bat at No. 10 in SRH's chase but it was quite clear that he was struggling to stand. SRH will play their next match against Kolkata Knight Riders on Saturday in Abu Dhabi. It will be interesting to see who replaces Marsh in SRH's playing XI. Afghanistan all-rounder Mohammed Nabi seems to be the front-runner at the moment.
