Test Cricket's Closest Finishes: 1-Run Thrillers and Historic Upsets

• Test cricket has witnessed hundreds of matches in its 149-year history, but some contests become 'immortal' due to their thrilling finishes.
• In 1993, West Indies defeated Australia by just 1 run at Adelaide Oval, marking the first such win in Test history.
• Nearly 30 years later, in 2023, New Zealand achieved a historic 1-run victory against England after being forced to follow on, becoming only the fourth team to do so.
• The 2005 Ashes series match at Edgbaston saw England win by 2 runs against Australia, a contest dubbed 'the greatest series of the century'.
• Test history also includes two instances of 3-run victories: Australia against England in 1902 and England against Australia in 1982.
