Starc beats Hazlewood but both get brutal IPL treatment

Mitchell Starc has won the bragging rights with his buddy Josh Hazlewood in their IPL duel -- but it was a day in Bengaluru the Australian pace luminaries would doubtless want to forget after they both endured an over from hell.

Starc's new side, the Delhi Capitals, eased to a six-wicket victory over Hazlewood's Royal Challengers Bengaluru in front of disenchanted thousands at the Chinnaswamy Stadium on Thursday but the in-form Aussie pair's eagerly-anticipated duel fell flat as both suffered the familiar merciless IPL treatment.

Between them, they bowled half-a-dozen overs, didn't get a sniff of a wicket and were carted around for 75 runs at 12-and-a-half an over, with Starc's figures ending up 3-0-35-0 and Hazlewood's 3-0-40-0.
