Star Australian pacer Mitchell Starc eclipsed Indian veteran Mohammed Shami to scalp most wickets in the ICC tournament finals during the ongoing ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final clash against South Africa at Lord's.

After Australia was bundled out for a moderate score following SA's decision to field first, the 'first-over Starc' was at it once again, cleaning up Aiden Markram for a duck with a brutal inswinger. By the end of the day's play, he had 2/10 in seven overs.

Now in five ICC finals, Starc has taken 11 wickets at an average of 26.63, economy rate of 5.17 and best figures of 3/55 against India in the final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at Ahmedabad, which came in a winning effort.
