Youngster’s Record Haul Destroys England in Stunning ODI Debut
The 21-year-old became just the second Australian to take a five-wicket haul on ODI debut as England collapsed at Perth Stadium.
On his One-Day International debut at Perth Stadium, 21-year-old Mahli Beardman took a five-wicket haul, becoming the second Australian to achieve the feat on debut.
England collapsed early on the bouncy deck, falling to 5-56 after teammates Xavier Bartlett and Spencer Johnson removed openers Ben Duckett and Tom Banton.
In his second over, Beardman claimed England captain Harry Brook, who nicked off for one, then dismissed Jordan Cox and Liam Dawson to complete the five-fer.
Perth Stadium was rocking like the WACA of old as the crowd cheered every ball, watching the young fast bowler dismantle the visitors with pace and bounce.
Western Australia has a new cricket rockstar, as Beardman's debut spell left England in tatters and established the 21-year-old as a rising talent in international cricket.
In the first match of the ODI series, Mahli Beardman bowled brilliantly. Beardman devastated the English team on his ODI debut. Beardman is considered a future star of the Australian pace attack.
