Mitchell Starc's Dominance Leads Australia to Victory Over West Indies

Starc's Final Blow Seals the Match

In a stunning conclusion, Mitchell Starc claimed his sixth wicket of the day, marking the end of the West Indies innings at a mere 27 runs. This final wicket was particularly significant for Starc, who had been anticipating this moment since the first innings, especially against Jayden Seales.

A Thunderous Delivery

Charging in for his 7.3rd over, Starc unleashed a fierce delivery clocking 143.3 km/h—full, straight, and relentless. Seales, perhaps overconfident, attempted an ambitious drive but was met with a ruthless ball that took an inside edge, struck his leg, and dismantled the stumps. The bails flew off, the lights illuminated, and the pink-ball Test concluded dramatically.

Starc's Personal Triumph

Starc celebrated with a roar and a leap, but first, he turned to Seales with a smile—a quiet act of revenge. With figures of 6 for 9 in his 100th Test, Starc led Australia to a 176-run victory, and that final wicket felt deeply personal.

The Backstory of Starc and Seales

The rivalry began in the first innings when Jayden Seales dismissed Mitchell Starc with a well-placed delivery that shaped in from around the wicket. Starc, perhaps too relaxed, attempted a drive with poor technique, leaving a gap that Seales exploited, sending the ball crashing into the stumps. Following the wicket, Seales celebrated aggressively, while Starc simply walked away with a smile.

Little did Seales realize that Starc would respond in such a dominant fashion, leading to a historic collapse for the West Indies, who recorded one of their lowest innings totals.
