In the first day of the second and final Test match between Australia and Bangladesh, bowler Mitchell Starc showcased his prowess with a remarkable opening spell. Starc claimed six wickets for just 12 runs, contributing to Australia's strong response after their nine-wicket defeat in the previous Test in Darwin. Captain Pat Cummins opted to bowl first, and Starc made an immediate impact by taking the first ball of the match.
He dismissed Shadman Islam for a duck, followed by Tanzid Hasan and Najmul Hossain Shanto, who was out lbw in his very next over. Despite reviewing the lbw decision, Starc's call stood, leaving Bangladesh in deep trouble at 12/5. Mominul Haque and Litton Das managed to resist, pushing the score to 35/6 by lunch. However, Cummins continued to trouble the Bangladesh lower order, dismissing Mushfiqur Rahim and Mehidy Hasan Miraz.
Josh Hazlewood also joined the attack, removing Hasan Mahmud. With Starc returning to complete his six-wicket haul, Bangladesh's innings ended at 64, with Starc being the chief destroyer in the match.
