The Story in Brief
Bangladesh were bowled out for 54 in their second innings, losing to a Cricket Australia XI by an innings and 38 runs at Marrara Oval, Darwin. Campbell Thompson took eight wickets for 25, including six on the final morning. Only opener Tanzid Hasan reached double figures with 22. The defeat comes ahead of Bangladesh's first Test in Australia in 23 years, starting Thursday at the same venue. Bangladesh had scored 263 in their first innings, with Mehidy Hasan Miraz scoring a century. The CA XI replied with 355, as Hasan Mahmud took four for 42.

Focusing on a warm-up defeat ignores Bangladesh's recent improvement in subcontinental conditions. The real question is how they adapt to Australian pace and bounce when it matters.
