Bangladesh stunned Australia with a historic nine-wicket win in the first Test at Darwin, marking their first Test victory on Australian soil. Ahead of the second Test in Mackay, Bangladesh head coach Phil Simmons expects Australia to respond more aggressively, urging his team to maintain or improve their performance. Australia has made some squad changes, including recalling Matt Renshaw to address batting issues, as they seek redemption and aim to level the two-match series.
