Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc demonstrated why he is one of the most feared T20 bowlers in the world during his exceptional spell against Sri Lanka in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2021 in Dubai on Thursday. On the third ball of the 11th over, Starc bowled a lethal toe-crusher which disturbed the stumps of the dangerous-looking Kusal Perera. Sri Lanka were well placed at 86/2 when Starc executed an inch-perfect yorker to bring his team back in the game.
