In the history of ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023 Australian bowler Mitchell Starc became the fastest bowler to take 60 wickets. The left-arm speedster bowler grabbed this record in merely 27 matches during his outstanding opening spell in the semi-final of the tournament against South Africa at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Thursday.

Second semi final is going on in between Australia and South Africa.

Mitchell Starc had taken 22 wickets in 2015 world cup and 27 of them in the 2019 world cup tournament. He has taken 11 wickets already this year and looks lethal with the five-time champions appearing set to make it to the final of the tournament.

Starc took two wickets in his first seven overs, first dismissing skipper Temba Bavuma before getting the better of vice-captain Aiden Markram.
