Australia youngster Mahli Beardman claimed a five-wicket haul on ODI debut against England in Perth. The fast bowler took the wickets of England's captain and a former leader as the visitors struggled at 55/4 after 14 overs. Beardman also removed other key batsmen to complete his maiden five-wicket ODI performance.

Beardman's achievement marks the second time an Australian male has taken five wickets on ODI debut. The feat had not been matched since a 38-year-old record was set by another player. The bowler's performance contributed to Australia's dominance over England in the opening match of the series.
