⭕ Winning a Test in Australia 🇦🇺 remains one of the toughest challenges in international cricket.

⭕ West Indies 🌴 ended a 27-year drought in 2024, securing their first Test victory in Australia since 1997.

⭕ Sri Lanka remain without a Test victory in Australia after 13 attempts.

⭕ Bangladesh 🇧🇩, are on the verge of securing their first on just their third attempt. If Bangladesh pull it off, it will go down as one of the biggest Test upsets in recent cricket history.
