Cameron Green grabbed a five-wicket haul, while David Warner and Steve Smith both starred with the bat as Australia defeated Zimbabwe by five wickets in their opening ODI in Townsville.
After Zimbabwe were sent in by Australian captain Aaron Finch on Sunday, Green (5-33 from nine overs) was the star with the ball as the tourists were bowled out for 200.
The all-rounder removed Sikander Raza (5) and Zimbabwe skipper Regis Chakabva (31) early on and then came back to mop up the tail.
Raza had made three centuries in his previous six innings, while Green had only previously claimed one ODI wicket for Australia.
Wessly Madhevere scored a career-high 72 and opener Tadiwanashe Marumani added 45 for the tourists.
Adam Zampa (3-57) had Madhavere caught and bowled with the last delivery of his 10-over spell.
Warner set the tone in the Australian innings with a stylish 57 off 66 balls after Finch chopped on in the ninth over for 15.
Warner was well supported by Smith, who made an unbeaten 48 from 80 balls at number three, as Alex Carey (10), Mitch Marsh (2) and Marcus Stoinis (19) all fell cheaply to spin at the other end.
Leg spinner Ryan Burl (3-60) claimed three wickets as Zimbabwe briefly garnered momentum, but Glenn Maxwell's hard-hitting 32 off nine deliveries ensured Australia cruised to victory.
Back-to-back sixes by Maxwell handed Australia a win in its first of 17 ODIs before next year's World Cup in India.
The second match of the best-of-three series is on Wednesday in Townsville.
