With the Ashes set to commence from November 21 at Perth, plenty of Australian stars have found rhythm and got game time heading into the all-important rivalry, a massive series in their chase for the ICC World Test Championship Mace.
Starc struck early, dismissing four of Victoria's top six batsmen, while his Australia teammate Nathan Lyon chipped in with 2-65, removing the other two top-order batsmen.
Mitchell Starc has started to peak just before the Border Gavaskar Trophy against India following his scorching spell at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) during Sheffield Shield.
Starc was at his lethal best against Victoria, taking six for 81 in 17.5 overs at an economy rate of 4.54 in Victoria's second innings. His wickets included Ashley Chandrasinghe, Marcus Harris, Campbell Kellaway, Sam Elliott, Fergus O'Neill and Todd Murphy.
