West Indies Vs Australia, 1st Test Day 1: 14 Wickets Fall On Spicy Barbados Pitch
The West Indies shot out Australia for 180 and discovered how tricky the Kensington Oval pitch was by losing four wickets on day one (Wednesday, June 25, 2025) of the Test series opener in Bridgetown, Barbados. The home side were 57-4 at stumps with Brandon King 23 not out on debut, trying to make up for his three dropped catches in the field. Teammate Jayden Seales took 5-60, his third test five-for, all at home, but Shamar Joseph was the more impressive bowler with 4-46. Australia were all out inside 57 overs for their lowest total in the West Indies after batting first. Only three batters got into double figures: Usman Khawaja (47), Travis Head (59) and captain Pat Cummins (28).
