Starc Struck: Australian Ace Shattered by UNWANTED Record!

September 28, 2024

Mitchell Starc had a nightmare at Lord's as the fourth ODI against England turned out to be a disaster for the Australian bowler. It was Liam Livingstone who stole the show with his impressive 67 not out, propelling England to a massive 312 for 5. However, what was most striking was the over bowled by Starc, which proved to be extremely expensive.

Livingstone's unbeaten 67-ball knock was nothing short of phenomenal, considering he smashed 4 fours and 3 sixes at an incredible strike rate of 101.49. His heroics helped the English side score 101 runs in the last 10 overs and finish at a daunting 312 for 5. On the other hand, what was expected to be a thrilling chase turned out to be a damp squib as Australia found themselves on the back foot right from the start.

The Australian batting line-up struggled to get any momentum going as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals. With 312 runs to chase, Australia was required to get off to a flying start. Unfortunately for the Aussies, they found themselves reeling at 37 for 2 in just the 9th over, which pretty much set the tone for their batting collapse. Mitchell Marsh and Steve Smith did show some resilience with a 42-run partnership for the third wicket, but it was just a brief respite in an otherwise disappointing Australian batting effort.

The Australian team ultimately folded for a paltry 126 runs in 35.4 overs, handing England a resounding 186-run victory at Lord's. This emphatic win also helped England draw level in the five-match series, which is now poised at 2-2.

It's undoubtedly a morale-boosting win for the English team heading into the final ODI. The defeat, on the other hand, would serve as a wake-up call for the Australians, who would need to reassess their batting strategy if they are to make a winning start to their World Cup campaign.
