Cricket lovers, buckle up! Day 1 of the first Test match between Australia and West Indies in Bridgetown was nothing short of wild. 14 wickets fell in a single day, and Australia were bowled out for just 180 runs!

🗓 Match Date: 25 June 2025
📍 Venue: Kensington Oval, Bridgetown

- West Indies: 57/4 (King 23*; Starc 2-35)
- West Indies trail by 123 runs
✅ Match Highlights – What Happened on Day 1?
Australia won the toss and chose to bat — but it turned out to be the wrong decision. The West Indies pacers, Jayden Seales (5/60) and Shamar Joseph (4/46), delivered fiery spells that crushed Australia’s batting line-up in less than 57 overs.
Only Travis Head (59) and Usman Khawaja (47) showed some resistance. They built an 89-run partnership, but once that broke, the rest of the batting collapsed quickly.
In reply, West Indies also faced serious trouble. Australian pace trio Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Pat Cummins staged a fierce comeback, leaving West Indies reeling at 57 for 4 by stumps.
✅ Star Performers & Turning Points
🔥 For West Indies:
- Jayden Seales – Took a brilliant 5-wicket haul, his third in Test cricket, and called it his most special because he didn’t feel fully in rhythm.
- Shamar Joseph – Shamar Joseph claimed four crucial wickets, including a stunning delivery that clean-bowled Beau Webster.
🔥 For Australia:
- Travis Head stood tall amid testing conditions, crafting a gritty 59 that reflected both resilience and intent.
- Usman Khawaja, despite a couple of lifelines, contributed a steady 47, playing a key role in steadying the innings during a shaky phase.
✅ What This Means for the Series
