In the first Pakistan ODI, Mitchell Starc reaches a significant milestone.

When Australia decided to field, Starc provided them the start they wanted by dismissing both openers in seven overs with 24 runs scored.

Starc became Australia’s fifth bowler to take 100 ODI wickets during his outstanding new-ball stint. This accomplishment was previously accomplished by Brett Lee, Glenn McGrath, Shane Warne, and Craig McDermott before Starc.

When ebutant Saim Ayub received an inside edge that caused his stumps to tumble, it marked Starc’s 100th scalp at home. Additionally, Abdullah Shafique was caught off guard during a brief delivery and fell victim to Starc.

Following his comeback to the attack, the left-arm bowler put an end to Shaheen Shah Afridi’s brief appearance, which included three fours and one six and totalled 24 runs from 19 balls.

In 46.4 overs, Mitchell Starc returned with 3-33 figures to dismiss Pakistan for 203.
