Off-spinner Nathan Lyon registered his career-best match-figures as Australia managed to defeat Bangladesh by seven wickets in the second Test and level the two-match series 1-1 at the Zohur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium here on Thursday.
After bowling out Bangladesh for a paltry 157 in their second innings on Day Four, the visitors chased down the 86-run target at the cost of three wickets.
However, the star of the show was Lyon, who officially cemented his status as one of the finest off-spinner Australia have ever produced.
The 29-year-old notched up six wickets during Bangladesh's second innings, in addition to the seven wickets he scalped in the first, to end with the match figures 13-154.
His seven wickets in the first innings helped him become the only second off-spinner - the first in over 110 years - to take two 10-wicket hauls in Tests for his country.
Lyon also finished with the best match-figures by an Australian bowler, surpassing his team-mate Steve O'Keefe's existing record, who had picked up 12 for 70 earlier this year against India in Pune.
