Mitchell Starc produced a moment of sheer brilliance, delivering a lethal reverse-swinging yorker to dismiss the dangerous Nicholas Pooran. The left-arm pacer, known for his ability to strike at crucial moments, sent the stumps flying as Pooran attempted a wild slog but missed completely. It was a picture-perfect dismissal, showcasing Starc’s skill and precision under pressure.
Pooran’s destructive innings cut short
Nicholas Pooran was in blistering form, smashing 75 off just 30 balls, including six fours and seven towering sixes. He was on course to take the game away from the opposition in the death overs, but Starc’s magic delivery put an end to his assault. Pooran’s wicket potentially saved 25-30 crucial runs, shifting the momentum back in favor of the bowling side.
Starc’s impact in crunch moments
Starc has built a reputation for stepping up in high-pressure situations, and this was another example of his match-winning ability. The delivery had late reverse swing, something only elite pacers can generate, and it completely outfoxed Pooran. Such moments define big games, and Starc’s ability to execute under pressure once again proved invaluable.
