Starc’s 10-wicket Haul Powers Australia To Innings-and-51-run Win Over Bangladesh
Great Barrier Reef Arena: Mitchell Starc’s 10-wicket match haul, backed by three wickets apiece from Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon, powered Australia to an innings-and-51-run victory over Bangladesh in Mackay, levelling the series in record time.
Australia's salvation came in the form of a third two-day Test in the past seven in the country, with the weekend victory made possible by a Bangladesh batting unit. Australia got rid of their earlier defeat in Darwin by putting on a massive innings and 51-run total, Bangladesh adding only 95 to their first-innings 64.
A team had not before been all out for double figures twice in a Test match in the twenty-one years up to that point; the bowlers achieved a victory so complete that Australia's attack seemed almost embarrassed during the onslaught on Sunday, which revealed the weakness of Bangladesh on a bouncy yet level wicket, and Travis Head even wrote his name on the boundary of the Great Barrier Reef Arena after the penultimate wicket was dismissed.
