Starc destroys Bangladesh in Mackay as Australia bounce back from Darwin disaster

Mitchell Starc, the evergreen paceman, delivered a stunning performance in Australia's Test match against Bangladesh, securing his fourth 10-wicket haul of the season. The match concluded with a thumping innings victory for Australia, with Starc finishing with 10-51 and securing both Player of the Match and Series awards. The four-day Test, held at Mackay's Great Barrier Reef Arena, was the shortest in Australia in nearly a century, clocking in at 750 balls.

Despite Bangladesh's famous nine-wicket win in the previous Test in Darwin, they were overwhelmed on this bouncy wicket, finishing at 95 for eight. Starc's exceptional performance saw him climb to 10th on the all-time Test wickets list with 445 dismissals. Australia's batting, however, remains a concern for the team as they prepare to face South Africa in a three-Test series in October.
