WTC Final: Mitchell Starc surpasses Mohammed Shami during Aus vs SA
The Times of IndiaThursday, June 12, 2025 at 3:43:51 AM
Mitchell Starc just pulled off a record-breaking performance in the World Test Championship final, snagging more wickets in ICC tournament finals than anyone else—even overtaking India's Mohammed Shami. Alongside Australia's fierce pace attack, he ripped through South Africa's batting lineup, leaving them in tatters at 43 for 4 after they were all out for 212. It was a bowler’s day all around, with South Africa's Kagiso Rabada also shining with a five-wicket haul.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another cricket stat—Starc’s record cements his place among the greats in high-pressure finals, and Australia’s dominant bowling spells trouble for any team facing them. For fans, it’s a reminder of how lethal top-tier fast bowling can be in shaping a match, especially in a marquee event like the WTC final.
