Australia's Campbell Thompson Takes 8 Wickets as Bangladesh Bowled Out for 54
In a recent three-day tour match, Bangladesh was bowled out for just 54 runs in their second innings, resulting in a loss to a Cricket Australia XI by an innings and 38 runs. The match took place at Marrara Oval, where Australia's Campbell Thompson delivered an outstanding performance, claiming eight wickets for 25 runs.
Thompson's impressive bowling included two wickets taken late on the previous day, followed by six more on the morning of the third day, leading to a dramatic collapse where Bangladesh lost eight wickets for just 35 runs. The only batter to reach double figures was opener Tanzid Hasan, who scored 22 runs.
Bangladesh had previously scored 263 runs in their first innings, with Mehidy Hasan Miraz contributing a century. The defeat leaves Bangladesh with limited time to prepare for their upcoming Test match in Australia, where they will face a formidable bowling lineup including Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, and Josh Hazlewood.
