Aussie Pacer Starc Nears 250-Wicket Milestone in ODIs
25 Oct
Summary
- Mitchell Starc on verge of 250 ODI wickets
- Could become 4th Australian to reach the milestone
- Has taken 247 wickets at impressive average of 26.75
As of October 25th, 2025, Australian pace bowler Mitchell Starc is on the verge of a significant milestone in his ODI career. The left-arm speedster requires just 3 more wickets to reach the 250-wicket mark, a feat that would see him join an elite group of Australian bowlers.
Starc, who currently stands as Australia's fourth-highest wicket-taker in ODIs, has taken 247 wickets at an impressive average of 26.75. If he manages to pick up the required 3 wickets in the upcoming third and final ODI against India at the Sydney Cricket Ground, Starc will become only the fourth Australian bowler to achieve this milestone, after the legendary trio of Glenn McGrath, Brett Lee, and Shane Warne.
In the ongoing ICC Women's World Cup 2025, there have been some notable developments. India have secured their place in the semi-finals, while New Zealand have crashed out of the tournament. Meanwhile, powerhouses Australia and England continue to dominate the points table, setting the stage for a potential clash between the two cricketing giants in the latter stages of the competition.
