The West Indies fielding team secured a sensational victory over Australia in a gripping Test match in Brisbane. With four debutants in their lineup, the West Indies surprised everyone in the cricket world by winning their first game in Australia since 1997, even though they were regarded as the underdogs.
The match's hero was the injured pace bowler, Shamar Joseph, who delivered a spellbinding performance to dismantle the Australian batting lineup. Despite retiring hurt in the second innings, Joseph showcased his immense talent by claiming seven wickets for 68 runs in his second Test match.
As Joseph's explosive bowling tore through Australia's middle order, the team that had looked comfortable at 113-2 found itself suddenly in trouble. The game turned out unexpectedly after Travis Head and Cameron Green, two big hitters, were taken out. Even the resilient Steve Smith, who scored a remarkable 91 not out, could not withstand the collapse.
The Australian batters could not withstand Joseph's forceful bowling style, as his booming deliveries broke stumps and found the edges of bats. He eventually bowled Josh Hazlewood clean to give the West Indies the victory, capping an incredible effort.
This historic victory, which will go down in Test cricket history as one of the biggest upsets ever, highlighted the West Indies' tenacity and the exceptional skill of Shamar Joseph, whose impressive fast-bowling spell turned the tide in their favor.
