Australia wins 2nd ODI by eight wickets, clinches series against Zimbabwe

Mitchell Starc took three early wickets to help restrict Zimbabwe to 96 runs and Steve Smith posted an unbeaten 47 as Australia won the second one-day cricket international by eight wickets Wednesday and clinched the three-match series.

Leg-spinner Zampa took the last two wickets as Zimbabwe was dismissed inside 28 overs. Richard Ngarava removed openers David Warner (13) and Aaron Finch (1) in the third over to have Australia in trouble at 16-2 before Smith and Alex Carey (26) combined in an unbeaten 84-run third-wicket partnership to secure victory with 212 deliveries to spare.

The former India skipper has gone without an international hundred across formats for nearly three years now but he feels that there isn't much scope for course correction.
