Jun 13, 2025
Starc, Hazlewood achieved this feat during the ICC World Test Championship final against South Africa on Friday. Coming into the day three at 144/8, Australia lost Nathan Lyon early, but Starc struck a historic half-century, the first one by a batter number nine or below in a ICC tournament knockout match, while Hazlewood's solid defence helped his partner accumulate runs. They both put on 59 runs for the final wicket, enabling the Aussies to set a 282-run target for the Proteas.
