Debutant Beardman skittles out England as Aussies win opener: 1st ODI (Perth)

Mahli Beardman (born 31 August 2005 in Dunsborough, Western Australia) is a fast bowler regarded as one of the country’s most promising young pace prospects.

A right-arm quick capable of exceeding 140 km/h, Beardman represents Western Australia in domestic cricket and the Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash League. He first attracted widespread attention at the 2024 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup, taking 10 wickets at an average of 10.50 in six matches. His finest performance came in the final against India, when he claimed 3-15 to help Australia win the championship and was named Player of the Match.

Beardman made his T20 international debut against Pakistan in January 2026, taking two wickets, before a back stress injury sidelined him for seven months.

He returned to action in the 2026-27 season and made a spectacular start to his One-Day International career against England in Perth on 13 November 2026. Claiming 6-24, he helped dismiss England for just 131, recording the best bowling figures by an Australian on ODI debut. His remarkable performance underlined his potential to become a major figure in Australia’s fast-bowling stocks.
