AHMEDABAD, India (AP) — Mitchell Marsh’s maiden Indian Premier League hundred helped Lucknow Super Giants end their four-match losing streak with a 33-run victory over Gujarat Titans on Thursday.Gujarat, which tops the table with 18 points, could still finish among top two with a win in the last league game against Chennai Super Kings.Marsh’s 117 off 64 balls propelled Lucknow to 235-2 with Nicholas Pooran hitting an unbeaten 56 off 27 balls on a black-soil wicket in Ahmedabad.Tall New Zealand fast bowler Will O’Rourke picked up 3-27 as Gujarat was restricted to 202-9. Shahrukh Khan top-scored with 57 off 29 balls, but he got little support from the other end in pursuit of a tall target.Lucknow was already out of contention for the playoffs.Along with Gujarat, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians are the other teams that have qualified for the playoffs.___AP cricket: https://apnews.com/hub/cricket
