Mahli Beardman claims six wickets on ODI debut as Australia beats England
According to Yahoo Sports, Australia defeated England by seven wickets in Perth, with debutant fast bowler Mahli Beardman taking six wickets. Earlier, stand-in ODI captain Mitchell Marsh said the team's top six batsmen were set for the 2027 World Cup and introduced Beardman as a debutant (Cricinfo). He also noted that regular bowlers would be rested and that he had never seen any ball-tampering.
Cricinfo later confirmed that Beardman would make his ODI debut in the series opener against England. The Guardian reported that Beardman's six wickets helped Australia win, describing the margin as 132 runs, which differs from Yahoo Sports' account.
