Mitchell Starc has continued to utterly dominate Nicholas Pooran. The left-arm pacer who plays for Delhi Capitals (DC) got the better of Lucknow Super Giants’ (LSG) best batter of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season for a fifth consecutive time in T20 cricket.
Starc has bowled to Pooran just 7 times in the shortest format of the game. And surprisingly, he’s dismissed him in their last 5 encounters. Going against Pooran at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, Starc bowled him with a sneaky slower bouncer. The southpaw had scored a boundary off him just three balls prior, but the pacer worked him out quickly.
Starc Strikes!
