A brilliant performance by the bowlers led by ace pacer Mitchell Starc helped Australia take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match ODI series, registering a massive 8-wicket win in the second ODI by bowling out Zimbabwe.  Starc did his best.  Starc took three wickets for 24 runs and played a key role in faltering Zimbabwe’s top order.  Zimbabwe could not cope with these initial blows till the end and their team was bowled out for 96 runs in 27.5 overs.  Apart from Starc, Adam Zampa took three for 21 and Cameron Green took two wickets for seven runs for Australia.  Sean Williams scored 29 runs for Zimbabwe.  Australia registered an easy victory after scoring 100 for two in 14.4 overs.  For him, Steve Smith scored 47 not out and Alex Carey scored 26 not out.  Smith and Carey put on an unbroken 84-run partnership for the third wicket after David Warner (13) and captain Aaron Finch (1) were dismissed early.  Australia won the first match of the series by five wickets with 99 balls to spare.  The third and final match will be played at the same ground on Saturday.
