Australia pacer Mahli Beardman recorded a six-wicket haul on his ODI debut against England at the Optus Stadium in Perth on Friday.
Beardman, 21, holds the record for the best figures by an Australian on ODI debut by claiming 6/24 to help bowl England out for 131 in the first game of the series.
He had England skipper Harry Brook caught behind for 1 for his first scalp before removing Joe Root, Jordan Cox, Sam Curran, Liam Dawson and Jofra Archer.
Beardman’s figures are fourth best by a debutant after Scotland’s Charlie Cassell (7/21), South Africa’s Kagiso Rabada (6/16) and West Indies’ Fidel Edwards (6/22)
