Bangladesh collapses to 64 all out as Starc dominates in Mackay test

Bangladesh's batting lineup crumbled under sustained pressure from Australia's fast bowling attack, with the touring side reaching their lowest total after lunch on day one of the test in Queensland. Starc was the chief architect of the collapse, capturing five wickets from just 22 deliveries to spearhead Australia's bowling performance. The rapid dismissal leaves Bangladesh facing an uphill task in their bid to salvage the test series, with their batsmen unable to find answers to the pace and movement generated by the home side's bowling unit. The second test encounter at Mackay has already established itself as a challenging proposition for the Bangladesh team, who struggled to build partnerships or accumulate any meaningful runs in their opening innings. Australia will look to capitalize on their dominant position when they begin their first-innings response to establish a commanding lead in the match.
