How many Tests did each nation take to win in Australia? See where Bangladesh's historic 3-match Darwin feat ranks against India, Pakistan & others.
Bangladesh achieved a historic feat in Australia by becoming the fastest team to win a Test on the country's soil. They defeated Australia in Darwin within their first three Tests on Australian soil, following a 23-year absence from the country.
In contrast, India took a staggering 12 attempts across three decades to secure their first win, while Sri Lanka remain winless after playing 15 Tests in Australia over four decades. New Zealand and Pakistan both achieved victory after seven Tests each.
The nine-wicket win in Darwin came as a result of Bangladesh's strategic bowling, a commanding first-innings total, and managing the chase with confidence. Their achievement showcases their ability to adapt to the unique conditions of Australia, which has long been considered a challenging venue for visiting teams.
