Beardman takes six on ODI debut as Australia beats England
The 21-year-old's 6-24 helped Australia secure a seven-wicket win in Perth and a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
Mahli Beardman claimed 6-24 in his first ODI appearance, helping Australia dismiss England for 131 in 33.4 overs at Perth's Optus Stadium before completing a seven-wicket victory.
Mitch Marsh led the chase with 50 from 30 deliveries, hitting four boundaries and four sixes. Matt Renshaw finished unbeaten on 26 alongside Josh Inglis on 23 as Australia won with 159 balls remaining.
Beardman's return ranks fourth among men's ODI debut bowling performances. He also became the second Australian to claim at least five wickets on ODI debut, after Tony Dodemaide took 5-21 against Sri Lanka in 1988 at the WACA Ground.
The 21-year-old opened his spell with a maiden in the 10th over, then dismissed England captain Harry Brook for his first international one-day wicket. Joe Root, Jordan Cox, Sam Curran and Liam Dawson followed as England slipped from 2-38 to 7-60.
England later reached 8-65 before lower-order contributions helped lift the total. Gus Atkinson remained unbeaten on 29 from 32 balls, while Will Jacks made 25. Beardman ended the innings by removing Jofra Archer for 11, and Spencer Johnson finished with 3-42.
