West Indies Vs Australia 1st Test Live Streaming: When And Where To Watch?
West Indies vs Australia 1st Test Cricket Live Streaming Details: Fans can watch West Indies vs Australia 1st Test live.
West Indies take on Australia in the opening Test of an exciting three-match series at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados, from June 25. The Calypso Kings face off against the mighty Australians as the two teams kick off their campaigns in the ICC World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle.
West Indies finished eighth in the previous WTC after winning just three of their thirteen Tests, losing eight. But the Roston Chase-led side will be taking confidence from their most recent Test bout with the Kangaroos, having beaten them at the Gabba early last year in one of Test cricket's most famous upsets.
After losing the marquee final at Lord's against South Africa, Australia finished runners-up in their WTC 2023-25 campaign. Pat Cummins' men were considered favourites to lift the coveted crown with 13 wins in their previous 19 Tests, but got upstaged by the spirited Proteas at Lord's.
They now enter a rebuilding phase with much of the scrutiny reserved for their batting unit following the axing of struggling Marnus Labuschagne.
The first Test between West Indies and Australia will be played from Wednesday, June 25, at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados. The match will start at 7:30 PM IST.
The toss for West Indies versus Australia 1st Test will take place at 7:00 PM IST.

2nd Test: If England get a draw, people will ask whether Gill trusts his attack, says Hussain
Former England captain Nasser Hussain said the pressure will be on India to win the second Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test as day five will show whether the Shubman Gill-led side can get the remaining seven wickets to level the series at Edgbaston. The start of day five's play was delayed due to rain and it has made India's task tougher after picking three scalps in the final session on day four to kickstart their defence of 608 on a bright note. "There is a lot of pressure on India. You must think a lot of England to set them 600." "If they get a draw people will ask why they batted on so long, people will ask whether Gill trusts his attack. I think he does trust his attack but today will show whether they can get those seven wickets or not," said Hussain on Sky Sports' broadcast. He also said whenever England get to bat once the rain delay is over, they should aim to show positive intent. "I think the focus is on (picking) the seven wickets rather than the target but also on how England play. They have very rarely been in this situation and openly stated they don't play for draws." "I think they need positive intent and not to go into their shell. You don't want them just blocking but you don't want recklessness either. It's about winning the series, not just a one-off Test." Mark Butcher, the former England cricketer, feels the Ben Stokes-led side should consider a draw in Birmingham, if rain helps them escape with it, as a win. "I don't think it takes too much of a shift of attitude for England (to contemplate the draw). You could look upon escaping from this game as a win in itself." "England talk about being in the entertainment business - well, we can all remember entertaining draws, people on the edges of their seats with a wicket needed and three overs left, or whatever it might be. Are the fans going to be more entertained by you falling over in a heap or by you clinging on by your finger nails at the back end of the day?" "I think we know the answer to that. And I think it would be a massive feather in the cap of this team if they were able to do it. I also think that all the motivation England need was India not declaring until late last night. They are giving you a gilt-edged chance to escape from here without losing a match that they really and truly should have been buried in. Use that to your advantage," he concluded.

"He's one of the best batters in the world": Justin Greaves hails Steve Smith for his fifty in Grenada test
New Delhi [India], July 6 (ANI): Already 1-0 ahead in the series, Australia's advantage in the West Indies Test series was furthered when they extended their lead to 254 runs on Day Three of the St George's Test. On a surface of variable bounce, Steve Smith stood class apart, hitting an excellent 71 off 119 balls. 'He's one of the best batters in the world for a reason, but we always knew that he was going to come, and he was always going to be positive,' West Indies all-rounder Justin Greaves said, as quoted from ICC. 'We didn't start our best at him, but Steve is Steve, he just at a really good innings.' Giving good support to Smith was Australia's number three, Cameron Green, who overcame indifferent recent form (48 runs from five innings) to score a fighting 52. 'I don't think I ever felt comfortable out there. I think last night was tricky with the new ball, and had to start all over again, and then there were a few ball changes. I never really felt at any point that it was that good,' Cameron Green said. Green, however, lauded Smith, with whom he shared a 93-run partnership. 'You'd probably ask a different question to Steve, he was batting on a different wicket,' he added. When questioned about how West Indies would approach the Test, Justin Greaves stated that despite the Green-Smith vigil, the hosts remained positive. 'For us try and keep Australia under 300 (on Day 4), that is one of our main goals,' Justin Greaves said. On their batting approach for the chase, Greaves hoped that the West Indies batters could follow a methodology similar to Australia's middle-order batters. 'As a batting group we need to be positive when we go out to bat. Probably take some notes from Travis Head, Beau Webster or Alex Carey on just having that positive mindset,' he added. Half-centuries from Alex Carey and Beau Webster helped Australia reach 286 in their first innings. Jayden Seales, Shamar Joseph and Justin Greaves took two wickets apiece. West Indies was bowled out for 253 and conceded a lead of 33 runs. Brendon King scored 75 runs. For Australia, Nathan Lyon was the pick of the bowlers and took three wickets. Captain Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood took two wickets each. (ANI)

Deepika's brilliant field goal against Netherlands nominated for Poligras Magic Skill Award
New Delhi [India], July 6 (ANI): Indian Women's Hockey Team forward Deepika has been nominated for the Poligras Magic Skill Award for her incredible solo field goal against World No.1, the Netherlands during the 2024-25 FIH Hockey Pro League season, as per a press release from Hockey India. The nominations for the Poligras Magic Skill Award for the 2024/25 FIH Hockey Pro League season were released on Friday, and the deadline to vote is 14th July at 3:29 a.m. IST. The winner will be announced once the voting ends. The winner of the Poligras Magic Skill Award is decided by hockey fans across the world based on who they think had the best moment and goal during the season. Deepika's iconic moment took place in February 2025 during the Bhubaneswar leg of the FIH Hockey Pro League when the Indian Team defeated the Netherlands in the shootout after a 2-2 draw at the Kalinga Stadium. In the 35th minute, Deepika scored an amazing field goal as India were trailing by two goals. In the 35th minute, Deepika dribbled down the left flank brilliantly as she went around the Netherlands' backline, kissed the baseline, dinked the ball over a defender's stick and finished the move with a wonderful strike past the keeper and into the net. 'That goal against the Netherlands is one of the most special moments of my career. Everything just clicked and it helped us equalise and win the game in shootout. I'm honoured to be nominated for the Poligras Magic Skill Award and grateful for the support of our fans. Moments like these are what we train so hard for. Your votes and support motivate me to keep pushing my limits and give it my all for India. I also want to thank my coaches, the support staff, and most importantly, my teammates for their constant encouragement and belief in me,' the 21-year-old prolific attacker said as quoted by a press release from Hockey India. Apart from Deepika's goal, the women nominees for the Poligras Magic Skill Award feature two more wonderful flashes of brilliance on the field. Patricia Alvarez's incredible 3D Skills and goal for Spain against Australia has made the cut. Patricia showed brilliant technique to win the ball and juggle the ball with her stick over the rushing goalkeeper and found the net. The third nomination is for the wonderful team goal by Australia's women's team against England. The Hockeyroos orchestrated a brilliant passage of play with five passes in the opposing half and a brilliant strike into the goal. (ANI)
