Australia secured an innings-and-51-run victory at the Great Barrier Reef Arena on Sunday, August 23, to level the series 1-1. Mitchell Starc claimed a 10-wicket match haul as Bangladesh were dismissed for 64 and 95. Australia scored 210 in their only outing, with Cameron Green top-scoring with 67 runs.
Stuart Broad said, “Aussies beat Bangladesh by an innings and draw the series 1-1, but there are still some question marks over them. Starc was a beast again, swinging the ball, while the pitch nipped and bounced all over the place. It does feel like the pitches this year are going all over the place, which means teams don't necessarily need to rely on spinners.”
The Mackay Test lasted only 750 deliveries, the fourth-shortest completed men’s Test in history. It was also Australia’s third two-day Test in their last seven home matches, following quick finishes in Perth and Melbourne during the Ashes 2025-26.

Starc continued his dominance in the second innings, taking 4/39 from 10 overs. He dismissed Shadman Islam and Mominul Haque with consecutive deliveries to complete his fourth 10-wicket match haul. Starc finished with 10/51 and won both the Player of the Match and Player of the Series awards.
Stuart Broad Raises Concerns Over Marnus Labuschagne's Form
Stuart Broad also raised concerns about Marnus Labuschagne’s poor run of form ahead of Australia’s demanding schedule. Broad noted that Labuschagne’s place at No. 3 is under pressure after the batter failed to score consistently for more than three years.
“I suppose the question is whether he goes to South Africa. Australia have a lot of Test cricket coming up, with South Africa away, India away, England away and New Zealand at home. They could either win everything and become immortalised in Australian cricket, or it could fall apart relatively quickly for them.”
Labuschagne scored four off nine balls in Mackay after making 1 and 31 in Darwin. His poor form has increased pressure on his place ahead of Australia’s away series against South Africa, India, and England, as well as their home series against New Zealand.
