The left-armer earlier bowled opener Kusal Perera with the fourth ball of the match.

Starc also overtook former Australian fast bowler Brett Lee, who reached the mark in 55 ODIs. The 26-year-old paceman from New South Wales, who made his debut against India in 2010, claimed 24 wickets in the recently-ended Test series, which saw Australia whitewashed by the home side.

Starc has taken a total of 115 wickets in 28 Test matches.
