Sports Desk || Bangladesh’s early advantage in the three-day warm-up match against Cricket Australia XI faded on the second day as the hosts took control with a 92-run first-innings lead in Darwin.After being bowled out for 355, Cricket Australia XI restricted Bangladesh to 19 for 2 at stumps in their second innings. The visitors are still trailing by 73 runs ahead of the final day.Fast bowler Hasan Mahmud was the standout performer for Bangladesh, claiming four wickets for 42 runs. Taskin Ahmed also impressed with two wickets, but the efforts were not enough to stop the Australian side from building a strong total.Earlier in the day, Bangladesh had reduced the hosts to 139 for 5, raising hopes of a quick finish. Hasan removed Curtis Patterson, who scored 53, while Ebadot Hossain dismissed Jack Clayton for 48.However, Tiger Wiley and Jake Doran changed the momentum with a crucial 157-run sixth-wicket partnership. Doran contributed 76 before his dismissal, while Wiley scored a career-best 130 off 177 balls to take CA XI past 350.Wiley’s century was his first in 24 first-class matches and came after he lost his contract with Western Australia last season before joining Tasmania.Mehedi Hasan Miraz, who scored a century on the opening day, also contributed with the ball, taking two wickets. Khaled Ahmed dismissed Wiley to end the Australian innings.Bangladesh faced further concerns with Taijul Islam missing from the bowling attack after suffering a finger injury while batting on the first day. Mushfiq Hasan replaced him as a bowler but failed to make an impact, conceding 38 runs in four overs.Bangladesh’s batting again became a major concern. Opener Shadman Islam was dismissed for 6 in the third over, while experienced batter Mominul Haque also fell for 6 near the end of the day.Tanzid Hasan remained unbeaten on 7, but Bangladesh’s top order failed to provide stability once again.With Bangladesh preparing for their first Test series in Australia since 2003, the final day of the warm-up match will be a crucial test for the batters. Apart from Miraz’s first-innings century, Najmul Hossain Shanto’s 37 was the highest score among Bangladesh’s top and middle order.
