What an amazing s̶t̶a̶r̶t̶ Starc for the Australian cricket team in the ongoing third and final ODI at Old Trafford, Manchester on Wednesday, where Mitchell Starc rocked the stage with his impeccable performance.
Mitchell Starc is one of the most lethal bowlers in the cricket world. He is known for generating a good amount of swing with his rapid pace, which leads to a flurry of wickets. On Wednesday, he was at it again, during the ODI series decider match between England and Australia in Manchester.
Before the game started, England skipper Eoin Morgan won the toss and opted to bat against the Australian cricket team. The England cricket team started with a poor start with Mitchell Starc accounting for the wickets of Jason Roy and Joe Root off the first two deliveries. Starc caught Roy at backward point by Glenn Maxwell off the first delivery and trapped Joe Root plump with a swinging delivery that led to his dismissal.
The England Cricket Board (ECB) took to their social media and shared the video of Joe Root’s dismissal via their official Twitter handle.
Here, watch the video:
A nightmare start.

Meanwhile, the middle and lower order have contributed handy and will require the same this time around the series finale. While Jonny Bairstow and captain Eoin Morgan are going at a good rate, the home side will need to score more than 275 runs to challenge the Aussies.
Following the ongoing ODIs, a lot of the IPL bound stars of England and Australian cricket team will land in Dubai on September 17th for the upcoming edition of the game in the UAE, which will kickstart on September 19th.
