Australia in Control with 146-Run First Innings Lead over Bangladesh
Mitchell Starc’s opening burst left Bangladesh 29/5, and Australia responded after a nine-wicket loss in the series opener.
- On Sunday, Australia levelled the two-test series, defeating Bangladesh by an innings and 51 runs at Mackay with Mitchell Starc securing match figures of 10-51.
- Starc's devastating 6-12 on Saturday dismantled Bangladesh for 64, the lowest total by a team batting first in Australia since 1932, on a pitch offering significant bounce.
- This performance moved Starc past South African great Dale Steyn into the top 10 all-time Test wicket-takers with 445 scalps; Shoriful Islam recorded a career-best 7-48.
- Cameron Green's 67 provided stability in Australia's 210-run total, though coaches remain concerned about Marnus Labuschagne's form on the lively surface.
- Australia faces a heavy 12-month schedule starting with a three-test tour to South Africa in October against reigning World Test Championship winners, requiring batting improvements.
