Taskin Ahmed gave a catch to slip off Nathan Lyon's first ball after tea, departing for 8 runs. Bangladesh was left on the brink of defeat after losing nine wickets for 95 runs.
Tail-ender Shoriful Islam defended his first delivery but was caught at point while trying to hit the next ball in the air. Bangladesh was bowled out for 95 runs to conclude the match.
Mushfiqur Rahim remained unbeaten on 29 runs. Mitchell Starc claimed 10 wickets in the match, taking four in the second innings, while Pat Cummins and Lyon picked up three wickets each.
