An irrepressible Mitchell Starc bagged four wickets and 10 for the match as he ripped through the Bangladesh batting to ensure a commanding innings and 51-run second Test victory for Australia inside two days on Sunday. The visitors headed into the Mackay showdown on a high after shocking the world’s top-ranked team by nine wickets in the first Test at Darwin. But they were brought crashing back to earth by some scintillating fast bowling, led by Starc who finished with 10-51 for the match to level the two-game series. After 18 wickets fell on a frenetic first day in Mackay, the hosts were all out for 210 in the morning session, securing a lead of 146 on the back of Cameron Green’s 67. Star Bangladesh quick Shoriful Islam claimed 7-48 — the best figures from a Bangladeshi bowler in an away Test. The visitors crashed for just 64 in their first innings, when Starc took 6-12, and he was the chief tormentor again, claiming 4-39 while Pat Cummins took 3-10 and Nathan Lyon 3-25. Bangladesh had a horror start with Shadman Islam lasting just three balls, playing a nothing stroke to a moving Starc delivery and edging to Marnus Labuschagne at point. Mominul Haque was equally clueless next ball, failing to offer a shot with Starc removing his off stump and setting up a hat-trick opportunity. Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto, who was out for a golden duck in the first innings, this time survived to deny Starc. But their woes deepened when Tanzid Hasan departed soon after for nine. Starc was again involved, taking a catch in the deep after Tanzid pulled Cummins. Shanto did well to soak up the pressure after lunch for 46 deliveries, but he eventually lost focus against the off-spin of Nathan Lyon, holing out to the safe hands of Starc at long off on 31. And when Starc was brought back into the attack, he was front and centre again, enticing a loose shot from Litton Das who was caught without scoring by Beau Webster at third slip. Mehidy Hasan Miraz struggled to get going and departed to an equally poor shot, lashing at a Cummins bouncer and collected by wicketkeeper Alex Carey. The Australian captain then removed Hasan Mahmud (two) before Starc took his 10th for the match — the fourth time he has achieved the feat — when he bowled Taijul Islam for seven. Lyon quickly wrapped up the tail in the first over after tea. Australia resumed at 165-8 with Green on 51 and Lyon on 10. Green, who scored a century during the first Test in Darwin, kept the scoreboard moving early with quick singles. But he was undone by an inswinging yorker from the impressive Shoriful that hit him on the toe with a review declaring him out lbw. A valiant Lyon brought up the 200 for Australia with a towering six off Taskin and with Josh Hazlewood adding 24 crucial runs for the last wicket. The innings ended when Hazlewood skied Taijul to Shadman on six to leave Lyon not out 32.

Mitchell Starc's extraordinary performance saw him take ten wickets, leading Australia to an emphatic innings win over Bangladesh. Securing victory by an innings and fifty-one runs in the second Test, Australia equalized the two-match series. Starc’s final statistics read ten wickets for fifty-one runs, while Bangladesh struggled significantly, being dismissed for sixty-four and ninety-five across their two innings.
