"We are definitely a better side. We felt there were times we didn't execute (plans) well. This was our first year, we had a tough time. We had two good games to start with against Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings," Marsh said at the post-match news conference here.
Chasing 120 for victory after being asked to bowl first, Pune achieved the target for the loss of five wickets.
"It was a pleasing, good consistent performance today," Marsh, whose two sons featured in today's game with Shaun and Mitchell representing KXIP and Pune, respectively, said.
