Starc and Shoriful set record with six-wicket hauls as Australia crush Bangladesh in Mackay
Australia defeated Bangladesh by an innings and 51 runs in the second Test at Mackay, with Mitchell Starc and Shoriful Islam both taking six-wicket hauls on the first day. Starc became the first bowler to start a Test with a wicket four times, while Bangladesh’s total of 64 was their lowest against Australia. The match ended in two days due to a collapse in Bangladesh’s second innings, despite Australia’s own batting struggles.
