Mitchell Starc was at his best in the second ODI between Australia and England on Saturday at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Australia were defending a total of 280 for 8 against the Three Lions and left-arm pacer Starc provided them one of the best starts. He dismissed England opener Jason Roy on the second ball of the guests' innings before cleaning up the next batter Dawid Malan with a sensational delivery on the fifth ball of the over.
While it was an unfortunate dismissal for Roy, Malan's happened as the result of a lethal delivery from Starc.
