Australia won the second Test against Bangladesh by an innings and 51 runs, levelling the two-match series 1-1. Mitchell Starc took 10 wickets for 51 runs across the match, including four for 39 in the second innings, as Bangladesh collapsed for 95.
Bangladesh had a poor start to their second innings, with Shadman Islam edging to Marnus Labuschagne at point off Starc's delivery, and Mominul Haque being bowled by Starc. Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto survived this time, unlike in the first innings when he was out for a golden duck.
Australia had secured a lead of 146 after being all out for 210 in the morning session, with Cameron Green scoring 67. Bangladesh had struggled in their first innings, being all out for 64, with Starc taking 6-12. Pat Cummins took 3-10 and Nathan Lyon 3-25 in the second innings.
