Mitchell Starc took 10 wickets as Australia defeated Bangladesh by an innings and 51 runs in Mackay to level the Test series.

Mackay: Mitchell Starc’s sensational 10-wicket match haul powered Australia to a dominant innings-and-51-run victory over Bangladesh in the second Test at Mackay, helping the hosts level the series.

Starc claimed six wickets in the first innings and followed it with four more in the second to finish with career-best home Test figures of 10-51. Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon also played key roles, taking three wickets each as Bangladesh were bowled out for just 95 in their second innings.

The victory completed Australia’s dramatic turnaround after their historic defeat in Darwin and produced one of the shortest Tests played in the country.

Bangladesh entered their second innings facing a huge challenge after Australia secured a 101-run first-innings lead. The visitors could add only 95 runs, extending their first-innings total of 64.
