Most expensive overs of Mitchell Starc in T20I cricket
India beat Australia at the Daren Sammy National Stadium, Gros Islet, to reach the 2024 ICC T20 World Cup semi-finals. The Men in Blue successfully defended 205, their third-highest total in T20 World Cups. Indian skipper Rohit Sharma's assault on Mitchell Starc early on was a highlight. Starc conceded 29 runs in the third over, making it his most expensive over in T20Is.
