In a surprising shift from their previous decision in Darwin, Australia's captain opted to bowl first in the second Test match. This choice comes as the team prepares to make its debut in Mackay, adding an element of excitement to the match.

The decision to field first marks a significant tactical change for Australia, who had previously surprised many by choosing to bat first in their earlier encounter. The team is looking to capitalize on the conditions and put pressure on the opposition right from the start.

On the Bangladesh side, the team has made a notable inclusion by bringing in Shoriful for this Test. His addition is expected to bolster the bowling attack as they face the Australian lineup in this crucial match.
