Starc Unleashes Carnage! 10-Wicket Masterclass Demolishes Bangladesh in 2-Day Test Finish

 Australian pace spearhead Mitchell Starc produced one of the most destructive bowling performances of his career, claiming a 10-wicket match haul (10/51) to power Australia to an emphatic victory by an innings and 51 runs against Bangladesh in Mackay.

The blistering spell sealed the second Test inside just two days, helping Australia draw the two-match series 1-1 after Bangladesh’s historic upset win in the series opener.

Starc Overtakes Dale Steyn in All-Time List

Starc’s lethal form wasn’t just about winning the match—it also rewrote cricket history books. By dismantling Bangladesh's top order with a 22-ball five-wicket haul on Day 1, Starc officially surpassed South African legend Dale Steyn (439 wickets) on the all-time Test wicket-takers list.

With 445 career Test wickets now to his name, the Australian left-arm quick has climbed into outright 10th place overall and continues to solidify his legacy as the highest wicket-taking left-arm fast bowler in Test history.

A Two-Day Execution at Mackay

After reducing Bangladesh to a paltry 64 in their first innings thanks to Starc's 6 for 12, Australia posted 210 in reply.

Needing a massive response to avoid an innings defeat, Bangladesh crumbled once again under Starc's sheer pace and swinging deliveries. Starc added 4 for 39 in the second innings to complete his fourth career 10-wicket match haul, bundling out the visitors for just 95 runs.
