Evergreen paceman Mitchell Starc took four wickets and spinner Nathan Lyon three to propel Australia to a thumping innings and 51-run victory over Bangladesh in Mackay on Sunday as the hosts hit back hard after their humiliation in Darwin. Left-armer Starc finished with match figures of 10-51 as Bangladesh crashed out before tea on day two, bowled out for 95 in 38.3 overs at Great Barrier Reef…
Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon delivered exceptional performances in Australia's innings victory over Bangladesh in Mackay, securing a 51-run win. Starc claimed four wickets, while Lyon took three, amassing match figures of 10-51. The hosts, reeling from a nine-wicket loss in Darwin, demonstrated resilience as they dismissed Bangladesh for 95 in 38.3 overs on day two, bowling them out before tea.
The win tied the two-match series at 1-1. Australia's victory, however, doesn't alleviate worries about their batting prowess ahead of the World Test Championship final against South Africa. Cameron Green, Australia's all-rounder, was the top scorer with 67 runs. While the win is a testament to their bowling attack, it may not significantly alleviate concerns about their batting before the upcoming three-Test series.
