**Melbourne, Australia:** Mitchell Starc recorded a historic performance in the first ODI between Australia and Pakistan, claiming 3 wickets and breaking a long-standing record.
Starc’s incredible spell saw him pick up the wickets of Abdullah Shafique, Sam Ayub, and Shaheen Afridi, contributing significantly to Pakistan’s dismal performance. The visiting team struggled to reach 203 runs, ultimately losing the match by a significant margin.
Starc’s feat saw him reach the milestone of 100 ODI wickets on Australian soil, becoming only the sixth Australian bowler to achieve this prestigious record. He joined an exclusive club that includes legendary bowlers like Brett Lee, Glenn McGrath, Shane Warne, Craig McDermott, and Steve Waugh.
Not only did Starc achieve the 100-wicket milestone, but he also surpassed the number of dismissals by bowling at MCG, surpassing the previous record held by Brett Lee.
The Pakistani batsmen were unable to handle the Australian pace attack, with Starc leading the charge. The series continues, with further matches scheduled over the next few days.
