New Delhi. Most cricketers in the world are nervous in their first match. Many batsmen are unable to open their account and many bowlers are unable to take wickets. But what can we say about Charlie Castle. This player took not one or two but 7 wickets in his first ODI match. With this, Charlie has recorded the best performance in the history of ODI cricket in his debut match.
Scotland performed brilliantly in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 match. They bowled out Oman for 91 runs in this ODI match. Oman's team could stay on the field for only 21.4 overs. The bowler who caused Oman's misery was not an experienced bowler, but a bowler playing his first ODI match. Charlie Castle dismissed 7 batsmen of Oman. His bowling analysis was 5.4-1-21-7. This was not only Charlie's first ODI, but also his first List A match.

With this, Charlie Castle has made a record for the best performance in a debut match in ODI cricket. Before him, two bowlers had taken 6 wickets each while making their ODI debut. In 2003, West Indies' Fidel Edwards took 6 wickets in his debut match for Zimbabwe. 12 years later, in 2015, Kagiso Rabada repeated the same feat. He had a record performance against Bangladesh.
However, now Charlie Castle has made a joint record of Kagiso Rabada and Fidel Edwards. Due to his record performance, Scotland defeated Oman very easily. They achieved the target of 92 runs in 17.2 overs by losing 2 wickets. Brendan McMullen remained unbeaten on 37 and captain Richie Berrington on 24.
