West Indies stun Australia in thriller as Shamar Joseph captures 7/68

West Indies broke a long dry spell in Australia with a nail-biting win in the pink-ball Test match at the Gabba. Shamar Joseph was the hero, taking an impressive 7 wickets for 68 runs, helping his team clinch an eight-run victory. This win ended a 27-year drought for West Indies in Australia and halted Australia’s 11-match winning streak in day-night Tests.

On Day 4 in Brisbane, Shamar Joseph turned the game around with his remarkable bowling performance. He caused a collapse in Australia’s batting lineup, taking 4 wickets for just 23 runs before the Dinner break. Despite Steve Smith’s resilient innings of 91 not out, Australia couldn’t recover, and West Indies shared the honors in the two-match series.  

Brief scores West Indies: 311 (Joshua Da Silva 79, Kavem Hodge 71, Kevin Sinclair 50; Mitchell Starc 4-82) and 193 (Kirk McKenzie 41; Josh Hazlewood 3-23, Nathan Lyon 3-42)

Australia 289/9 decl (Usman Khawaja 75, Alex Care 65, Pat Cummins 64*; Alzarri Joseph 4-84, Kemar Roach 3-47) & 207 (Steve Smith 91; Shamar Joseph 7-68) (Agency)
