Mitchell Starc delivered a remarkable bowling performance in the second Test against Bangladesh at Mackay, taking six wickets for 12 runs and completing a five-wicket haul in just 22 deliveries. His spell helped bowl Bangladesh out for 64, their fourth-lowest Test total and lowest against Australia. Starc's achievements included surpassing Dale Steyn's 439 Test wickets to enter the top 10 all-time list and breaking James Anderson's record for most first-ball wickets in Tests. Australia responded strongly after losing the first Test in Darwin.
