Australian pace spearhead Mitchell Starc is known for his ability to bowl yorkers at will but this time, he fulfilled the role of a dutiful husband as he was seen cheering for his cricketer wife Alyssa Healy from the stands. 

Starc applauds his better half Alyssa from the stands

This happened during the 55th match of the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) where the Sydney Sixers had taken on Melbourne Stars at the North Sydney Oval on Sunday. 

Chasing a challenging total of 179, the sixers got over the line by five wickets riding on an outstanding century from Alyssa Healy who made this run-chase a one-sided contest with an incredible knock of a 52-ball 111 at a strike rate of 213.46 including 15 boundaries and five maximums. 

However, what really stood out here was that Healy's spouse Starc was seen clapping for her from the stands after she had completed her century. The video of this adorable moment was posted by the Women's Big Bash League on their official Twitter handle. Take a look.

The wicket-keeper batter had completed had breached the three-figure mark off just 48 deliveries and this was her fourth ton in the WBBL. At the same time, this was also the fourth-fastest century in the history of the tournament as well.
