Australia delivered a devastating performance in the second Test against Bangladesh, bowling out their opponents for 64 and 95 to secure an innings and 51-run victory in dominant fashion.
Pacer Mitchell Starc was the architect of Bangladesh's downfall, taking 10 wickets across both innings to spearhead Australia's bowling assault. The collapse represented a sharp turnaround for Australia, who had suffered defeat in the first Test of the series.
Bangladesh's batting lineup proved unable to withstand Australia's bowling intensity, posting woefully inadequate totals in both attempts at batting. The comprehensive nature of the victory underscored the gulf in quality between the two sides on the day.
The result leveled the Test series between the nations, with Australia's all-around performance marking a stark contrast to their opening-match disappointment. Starc's match haul demonstrated the lethal potential of Australia's pace attack when conditions and execution align.
