Mitchell Starc has ripped through the Zimbabwe top order and has the tourists reeling in the second ODI in Townsville.

Australia won the toss and bowled first with Starc immediately vindicating the decision.

First the left armer removed Innocent Kala with a searing inswinger which crashed into the stumps. He followed that up three balls later with another wicket, trapping Wessly Madhevere in front for a duck.

Starc then snared opener Tadiwanashe Marumani who clipped a full ball off his pads to substitute fielder Marnus Labuschagne for four.

He is now just one wicket away from 200 ODI wickets while Zimbabwe are three for 20 after seven overs.

The hosts dominated the first match on Sunday, restricting Zimbabwe to 200 before chasing down the total with 99 balls and five wickets remaining.

Australia now needs just one more win in the three-match series in Townsville to make it a successful start to the season. They were forced into one change after Mitch Marsh was ruled out with a minor ankle injury. He has been replaced in the team by Ashton Agar.
