Mitchell Starc of Australia is the quickest bowler in One-Day International history to reach this milestone

On Saturday, Australia’s Mitchell Starc broke the record for the quickest bowler to reach 200 wickets in one-day internationals.

On Saturday, Australia’s Mitchell Starc broke the record for the quickest bowler to reach 200 wickets in one-day internationals. He accomplished the feat during Australia’s third and final One-Day International match against Zimbabwe, which they ultimately lost by three wickets. During the match, the left-arm seamer was only successful in taking one wicket. It took him till the 37th over of the innings to get rid of Ryan Burl, but once he did, he finished the innings with a total of 200 wickets in one-day internationals.

Starc achieved a total of 200 wickets in 102 matches, which allowed him to surpass the previous record held by Pakistan spinner Saqlain Mushtaq. The accomplishment was finished by Mushtaq in 104 matches.

Both Brett Lee and Allan Donald of South Africa took 200 wickets, however Allan Donald achieved it in 117 games while Brett Lee did it in 112 games.

A virtually full-strength Australia side was defeated by Zimbabwe in the third one-day international that took place in Townsville on Saturday. Zimbabwe won the match by three wickets to claim a historic triumph.

Zimbabwe overcame a wobbly chase to beat the cricket powerhouse for the first time in Australia when they hauled in the target in the 39th over, triggering scenes of celebration. This victory came after leg-spinner Ryan Burl (5-10) played a starring role in dismissing the hosts for a lowly 141. After Ryan Burl’s stellar performance, the hosts were dismissed for a score of only 141.

The final match of the three-game series was a triumph for Zimbabwe, but it was only a consolation victory.

In Zimbabwe’s first series in Australia since 2004, they struggled to stay competitive in the first two matches at the same venue and were completely dominated for just 96 runs on Wednesday. This was their first series in Australia since 2004.

The fact that Chakabva won the toss for the first time in the series was a confidence booster for him, as his accurate attack took frequent wickets against Australia’s batting order that was struggling to score runs.

In an innings that lasted only 31 overs, Australia’s only had two batters reach double digits, with star opener David Warner scoring 94 runs as the only other batsman to contribute.
