Mitchell Starc  

India is ready for another year of a superhit IPL season. Let's take a look at the top most expensive players in IPL 2024. 

Mitchell Starc isn’t worried about taking on the hosts, as they look to move a step closer to winning a sixth ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup. 'To win a World Cup you’ve got to beat everyone,' he explained

With his swinging full-pitched deliveries, Trent Boult sent back the well-settled Usman Khawaja (88 off 129 balls), Micthell Starc and Jason Behrendorff, while giving away just two runs of the last over to become the first Kiwi to grab a hat-trick in the World Cup

'I did not think Usman Khawaja was very fluent but he did well to hang in there for his 88 and New Zealand will feel frustrated that they had a couple of missed opportunities. Their fielding was not perfect, even though Martin Guptill took a stormer to get rid of Smith,' wrote Allan Border after Australia beat the Kiwis at the ICC World Cup 2019

London: Left is right at the ongoing ICC World Cup 2019 in England and Wales. Left-handed cricketers are ruling the 10-team tournament. Here is a look at all the left-handers who are calling the shots at the ICC showpiece event. The two biggest stars so far are Australian duo of David Warner and Mitchell Starc, who have topped the batting and bowling charts respectively. All statistics as on June 26, after the end of Pakistan-New Zealand match in Birmingham.

'The Australian selectors must be congratulated for the bold selection of Jason Behrendorff and the faith they showed in presenting him with the new ball (against England at the ICC World Cup 2019),' wrote Steve Waugh

While Australia became the first team to reach the semi-finals of the ICC World Cup 2019, England's defeat, their second straight following the stunning reverse to Sri Lanka, made their path to the last four way tougher than it was not less than a week ago

Left-arm paceman Arjun Tendulkar was seen bowling to England batsmen. The hosts have probably called up Arjun to help them in countering the left-arm pace of Mitchell Starc, who is now the joint-leading wicket-taker in the 10-team tournament with 15 scalps, along with Jofra Archer and Mohammad Amir

'We were more motivated to win today because of the fact that we lost the series in India, being 2-0 up, and there was no Mitchell Starc, either. So him coming in makes their bowling lineup even stronger,' Virat Kohli said after defeating Austraila in the ICC World Cup 2019 match

London: India and Australia will renew their rivalry today (June 9) at The Oval in London in what promises to be an exciting contest in the round robin phase of the ICC World Cup 2019. While both teams are evenly matched are favourites to lift the trophy, here is a look at some of the key battles which could have a bearing on the outcome.

Nottingham: Australia wicketkeeper Alex Carey heaped praise on teammate Mitchell Starc as he took five wickets against West Indies on June 6. Thanks to his superb bowling and Nathan Coulter-Nile’s surprise 92-run knock, the five-time world champions won by 15 runs in the ICC World Cup 2019. With next match against India, Carey said they were focusing on Virat Kohli’s team and described Starc as “dangerous” with the new ball.

Nottingham: Australia fast bowler Mitchell Starc was lucky against West Indies as the umpire failed to spot his no-ball and the very next ball he dismissed Chris Gayle. The ICC World Cup 2019 match between the two sides on June 6, was marred by umpiring errors. After the team’s 15-run victory, Starc interacted with journalists. Starc starred with the ball by taking five wickets. With India and Australia set to face off on Sunday (June 9), Starc spoke about the contest and bowling to Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and other batsmen.

Michael Holding, who was commentating on the Australia-West Indies ICC World Cup 2019 game, said on air, 'I am sorry but the umpiring in this game has been atrocious'. Dean Jones made a suggestion of having three on-field umpires

'We haven’t played awesome cricket in that game, we played well in patches but we can get better in all three areas of the game. It’s exciting to find new ways to win, Coults (Coulter-Nile) played very well to get us to a competitive total,' said Mitchell Starc after Australia's win over West Indies in the ICC World Cup 2019

'I also thought Mitchell Starc bowled really well to take his five wickets. When he’s got his rhythm and his form is good, he’s definitely the best around – I think that is without question,' wrote former captain Allan Border after Australia defeated West Indies in the ICC World Cup 2019
