Australia have a long history of dominating Test cricket, especially on home soil. However, their strong record recently suffered a major blow after Bangladesh stunned them in the first Test in Darwin. Notably, Bangladesh secured a historic nine-wicket victory on Sunday, registering their first-ever bilateral Test win over Australia in Australia.
Tanzid Hasan played a crucial role with a brilliant hundred, while Hasan Mahmud and Mehidy Hasan Miraz produced five-wicket hauls to help Bangla Tigers complete a famous victory. As a result, Bangladesh took a 1-0 lead in the two-match series.
However, while Bangladesh have now achieved the feat, there are still teams who are yet to beat Australia in a Test on Australian soil.
Teams That Are Yet To Beat Australia In Australia
Australia have played Test cricket against several teams over the years, including major sides such as India, Pakistan, England and Sri Lanka. While most of these teams have managed to defeat Australia at home, a few are still waiting for their first Test victory Down Under. Here are the teams that are yet to beat Australia in Australia.
Sri Lanka: Sri Lanka are one of the teams yet to win a Test match against Australia on Australian soil. The two sides have faced each other 15 times in Tests in Australia, with Sri Lanka losing 13 matches and two ending in draws.
The last time Sri Lanka toured Australia for a Test series was during the 2018-19 season. Australia won both matches comfortably. The first Test in Brisbane ended with Australia winning by an innings and 40 runs. In the 2nd Test in Canberra, Australia secured a massive 366-run victory.
Zimbabwe: Zimbabwe are another team still searching for their first Test victory over Australia on Australian soil. The two teams have played only two Tests against each other in Australia, with Zimbabwe losing both matches.

Has Sri Lanka Ever Beaten Australia In A Test Series?
Notably, Sri Lanka have defeated Australia in a Test series twice. Their first series victory came in 1999. However, their most memorable success came in 2016 when Sri Lanka produced a stunning 3-0 whitewash in a three-match series at home. It was Sri Lanka's first-ever Test series whitewash against Australia.
The first Test was played in Perth, where Australia won by an innings and 175 runs after declaring on 735/6. The second match took place in Sydney, with Australia winning by nine wickets.
Which Team Has Defeated Australia The Most At Home?
England hold the record for the most Test victories against Australia in Australia. The Ashes rivals have played 190 Tests, with England winning 58 matches.
Meanwhile, West Indies have also enjoyed considerable success, winning 19 Tests against Australia.
It is also important to note that Bangladesh's nine-wicket victory in Darwin was their second Test win in the SENA countries. Their previous success came in 2022 when they defeated New Zealand in Mount Maunganui.
With the historic win, Bangladesh have also taken a 1-0 lead in the two-match series. The second Test will begin on Saturday, August 22.
