MELBOURNE: Mitchell Starc’s brilliant spell of pace bowling helped Australia bundle Pakistan for a meagre 203 in the first ODI of the three-match series here at Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Monday.
Mitchell Starc gave Australia the desired start after they opted to field as he removed both openers inside seven overs with 24 runs on the board.
Babar Azam played a 37-run knock from 44 balls and added 39 runs for the third wicket with Mohammad Rizwan before getting bowled by Adam Zampa.
