Mitchell Starc leaves Jason Roy flummoxed with peach of a delivery vs England- WATCH

Newly minted T20 World Champions England are up against Australia in a three-match ODI series, that kicked off on Thursday. The 1st ODI at the Adelaide Oval marked Australia’s new ODI captain Pat Cummins, leading the 50-over squad for the first time. The match kicked off with Australia winning the toss and electing to field first. 

While Cummins dismissed Phil Salt on the score of 14 off 15 to register his first wicket as an ODI captain, Starc came up with a spectacular ball in the very next over, which left the batter shocked. In the second delivery of the fifth over, Starc bowled a length ball that landed around the off stump but cut back in sharply. While Roy looked to play it around, he came up with a confusing shot, seemingly in an attempt to cover the movement, but got deceived by it.

Starc ended up cleaning Roy’s stumps and sending him back to the pavilion on the individual score of 6 runs off 11 balls. It is pertinent to mention that Roy was making his return to the national side, which didn’t end on a good note. With the opener’s dismissal, England was reduced to 20/2 inside 5 overs.
