While the former Pakistan spinner achieved the milestone of 200 wickets in 104 matches, Starc has completed the feat in 102 matches. The left-arm seamer has&nbsp;200 wickets in 102 matches in his ODI career at an average of 22.31, including eight five-wicket hauls.

While it turned out to be a memorable outing for Starc, Australia faced a shocking defeat at the hands of Zimbabwe in the third and final ODI of the series. Zimbabwe bundled out the hosts for a paltry 141 runs with the help of spinner Ryan Burl's brilliant five-wicket haul before chasing down the target with eleven overs to spare to register a historic win.

David Warner was the saviour for Australia with a fantastic knock of 94 runs as the rest of the batters struggled against the Zimbabwe bowlers. Bur ran riot with the ball to finish with excellent figures of 10/5 in just three overs as Australia were shell shocked by the visitors

The hosts gave their best trying to defend the moderate total but failed to do so as Zimbabwe clinched their first-ever win in an ODI match against Australia in Australia. The Aussies claimed&nbsp;the three-match series 2-1 having won the first two ODIs.&nbsp;

Australian pacer Mitchell Starc breaks record, scalps 200 wickets in just 102 ODIs

Leg-spinner Ryan Burl took a career-best five wickets for 10 runs to help Zimbabwe beat Australia by three wickets on Saturday and a consolation win in the third one-day cricket international.

Australia won the first two matches by five and eight wickets, respectively, after winning the toss and sending Zimbabwe in to bat.

But Zimbabwe captain Regis Chakabva won the coin flip on Saturday and the story was a much different one as the visitors took three wickets inside the first 10 overs and bowled Australia out for 141 runs.

In reply, Zimbabwe reached its victory target with 66 balls to spare. Chakabva top-scored with 37 runs and Tadiwanashe Marumani added 35 on way to a winning total of 142-7. It was Zimbabwe's first ODI victory over Australia in Australia.

Josh Hazlewood led the Australian bowlers with three wickets. Veteran Australian opener David Warner came within just six runs of ending his century drought. Warner hit 94 off 96 balls to add a degree of respectability to the total.

Left-arm seamer Richard Ngarava got skipper Aaron Finch for the third time in three ODIs. From the other end, Victor Nyauchi trapped Steve Smith leg before for one, the Australian unable to get the call reversed in a review.

Alex Carey was next to fall, caught behind after an erratic shot that left Australia 31-3 off nine overs. Marcus Stoinis and Cameron Green swiftly followed as Warner kept the scoreboard ticking from the other end.

It's been 54 innings across all formats since Warner's last century with Saturday's total the fourth time he's been dismissed in the 90s.

The series was played in northern Queensland state as part of the International Cricket Council's Super League competition for ODIs. Both teams are preparing for the Twenty20 Cricket World Cup which starts in Australia on Oct.
