West Indies Break 25-Year Drought with Test Victory in Australia

Shamar Joseph’s remarkable performance with seven wickets led West Indies to their first Test victory in Australia since 1997. In a thrilling match at the Gabba, West Indies won by eight runs securing a drawn two-match series. Despite Joseph’s injury concerns from the previous day where he left the field in tears, he bounced back to claim 7-68. Australia’s Steve Smith fought valiantly with a score of 91 but Joseph’s fierce pace dismantled their batting lineup.

Cameron Green and Travis Head fell victim to consecutive deliveries from Joseph, setting the stage for a dramatic finish. With this historic win, West Indies celebrated their first Test victory against Australia anywhere in the world since 2003. Shamar Joseph was named both the man of the match and the man of the series. The teams will now shift to three one day internationals and three T20 matches.
