Mahli Beardman Takes Five Wickets on ODI Debut, Equals Australian Record
Mahli Beardman, a 21-year-old Australian right-arm medium pacer, took a five-wicket haul on his ODI debut against England at Perth's Optus Stadium. He dismissed key England batsmen including Harry Brook and Joe Root within his first 28 deliveries, equalling Tony Dodemaide's 38-year-old Australian record for most wickets on ODI debut. Beardman’s figures stood at five wickets for 18 runs in six overs, making him only the second Australian to achieve this feat and potentially the first to take six wickets on debut if he claims another wicket in the series.
