In a thrilling encounter in Australia's domestic cricket league, Mitchell Starc, the left-arm fast bowler renowned for his lethal pace and swing, delivered a masterpiece of a ball that outplayed his national teammate, Travis Head. 

The match, part of the Sheffield Shield, saw Mitchell Starc representing New South Wales while Travis Head played for South Australia. 

Both players, key figures in the Australian national team, were pivotal to their respective sides, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the contest.  It was a contest of titans where Starc ended up having a last laugh with his spot-on execution.

Mitchell Starc-Travis Head Rivalry!

Coming back to the dismissal, Starc's exceptional delivery came during a spell where he was already causing trouble, having dismissed a batter in the same over, which paved the way for Head. 

However, before the hard-hitting batter could settle onto the crease, Starc set up his opponent beautifully. 

The dismissal delivery was nothing short of a textbook execution. Delivered at high speed, it pitched on a good length outside off stump and swung in sharply late, which caught completely by surprise. 

Head initially looked to drive. However, he was completely beaten by the late movement. The ball brushed past his bat and shattered into the stumps, sending the bails flying.

Mitchell Starc was absolutely pumped after outfoxing his Australian teammate, and in the adrenaline of two back-to-back wickets, Starc moved close to Head's face with a death stare.

Meanwhile, Head had just witnessed a moment of disbelief as he walked back to the pavilion quietly on a golden duck, thus acknowledging that he had been outplayed by an extraordinary delivery.
