Since the start of 2024, Ben Duckett has averaged close to 69 while maintaining a strike rate of 115 in the first 10overs of an ODI innings.

Only three openers from Full Member nations have had a strike rate higher than Duckett's (Jake Fraser-McGurk, Rohit Sharma and Travis Head), but none have had a better average.
