The 21-year-old fast bowler takes 6/24 against England in Perth, recording the best ODI debut bowling figures by an Australian male and the fourth-best performance in history.

Australian fast bowler Mahli Beardman produced a remarkable international debut, claiming six wickets to help Australia bowl England out for just 131 in the opening ODI in Perth on Friday.

The 21-year-old recorded figures of 6/24, becoming only the second Australian male to take five or more wickets on his ODI debut and setting a new national record for the best bowling figures by an Australian male in his first match.

His performance ranks fourth among the best bowling figures on men’s ODI debuts, behind Charlie Cassell (7/21), Kagiso Rabada (6/16) and Fidel Edwards (6/22).

Beardman initially removed England captain Harry Brook before dismissing former skipper Joe Root, leaving the visitors struggling at 55/4 after 14 overs.

He continued his impressive spell by claiming the wickets of Jordan Cox, Sam Curran, Liam Dawson and Jofra Archer, completing a memorable six-wicket haul on the pace-friendly Perth Stadium pitch.

Speaking to former Australia batter Mike Hussey during the innings break, Beardman admitted he had been nervous before the match.

He described representing Australia as a great honour and credited captain Mitch Marsh for helping him settle his nerves.

The ODI series continues with the second match in Adelaide on November 15, followed by the third in Hobart on November 18.

Australia and England will subsequently play a five-match T20 International series, beginning in Melbourne on November 21 and concluding in Canberra on December 2.
