Debutant Mahli Beardman's 6/24 bowled England out for 131 and Australia chased it down for the loss of three wickets to lead the three-match ODI series 1-0.

Australia beat England by seven wickets in the first ODI at Perth Stadium on 13 November 2026. England were bowled out for 131, and Australia reached 132 for 3. The star was Mahli Beardman, who took 6 for 24 on his ODI debut — the best figures by an Australian man on ODI debut, according to cricket.com.au. Australia lead the three-match series 1-0.
