Mitchell Starc’s bunny: Travis Head gets out for the 6th time in 8 matches-OxBig News Network

Mitchell Starc once again turned out to Travis Head’s undoing once again, dismissing him for the 6th time in top flight cricket. Playing in Vizag on Sunday, March 30 in Delhi Capitals’ match against SunRisers Hyderabad, Starc bounced Travis out in the 5th over of the match.

Starc once again ripped apart SRH in the Indian Premier League, picking up 3 wickets in the powerplay. The pacer was so dominant that SRH’s tall batting order was reduced to 37/4 in just 4.1 overs. The fast bowler also forced a run-out in the very first over of the match, which led to SRH losing the wicket of Abhishek Sharma early in the game.

Starc dismissed Ishan Kishan, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Travis Head inside the powerplay, as DC captain Axar Patel stuck with the left-arm fast bowler. Starc was hit for two boundaries in the first over by Travis Head but that did not deter him from bowling good quality balls. All of Starc’s wickets came from either short, or short of good length deliveries, resulting in figures of 3/33 in the powerplay.
