Zimbabwe in the second one-day international on Wednesday, giving the home side an unassailable 2-0 series lead in Townsville. After being sent in to bat, Zimbabwe were unable to repeat their respectable performance from game one, crumbling for 96 all out in 27.5 overs. In reply, Australia peeled off 100-2 in 14.4 overs before a modest weekday crowd. "Pretty clinical today," Starc said in the post-match news conference. "Some guys are coming off some cricket, others are coming off a few weeks of no matches. I think everyone's finding a nice rhythm." The left-armer recorded figures of 3-24 and bowled with pace to clean up Zimbabwe's top-order. The unfancied tourists never recovered after losing 25-3 inside the first powerplay, including the wicket of Sunday's top-scorer, Wesley Madhevere, trapped lbw for nought.

Quick Richard Ngarava briefly revived Zimbabwe's slim hopes of a miraculous victory with the wickets of openers David Warner and Aaron Finch in the third over to leave Australia wobbling at 16-2. But an aggressive Steve Smith (47 not out) and Alex Carey (26 not out) counterattacked as Australia cruised to a series triumph, having notched a comfortable five-wicket victory in the first ODI in Townsville on Sunday.
