Propelled by an outstanding bowling display from Shamar Joseph, a 24-year-old right-arm pacer earning his Test cap in this series, West Indies clinched their first Test victory in Australia in 27 years.

The triumph at Gabba saw West Indies emerge victorious by eight runs, with Joseph claiming seven wickets and conceding 68 runs in a mere 11.5 overs. His overall contribution encompassed 11 wickets, sealing the team's historic win— one of the best Test matches in recent history.

His bowling drew more attention as he suffered a nasty blow on his toe before the winning day. It was uncertain whether he can bowl or not. Despite this concern, Joseph helped West Indies to pull off an epic almost single-handedly.

In pursuit of a 216-run target in the fourth innings, Australia fell just short, accumulating 207 runs. Steven Smith, who opened the innings, displayed remarkable resilience with an unbeaten 91, standing as the sole Australian batter to withstand Joseph's onslaught. But his effort went in vain as none of his partners was able to hold on.
