Australia started their T20 World Cup campaign against New Zealand on October 22.

Australia won the toss and elected to field first, a decision that backfired.

Finn Allen smashed 14 runs in the first over of the match bowled by Mitchell Starc.

Starc secured an unwanted record after being smashed around by Allen.

He has now conceded the most runs in the opening over of an T20 World Cup game for Australia.

Dirk Nannes had earlier conceded 12 runs in the opening over of a T20 World Cup match.

In the 2021 T20 World Cup, Starc conceded 11 runs in the opening over.

In the 2009 T20 World Cup, Brett Lee conceded 10 runs in the opening over.
