Key Insights

Australia won 16 matches in a row between October 1999 and February 2001, the longest win streak by a team in Tests. They are, in fact, the only team to win more than 10 consecutive Tests twice.

Bangladesh, in contrast, registered the most consecutive Test losses. They suffered 21 back-to-back losses between November 2001 and February 2004.

In 1984, the West Indies recorded 11 successive Test victories. This was the first instance of a Test team claiming 10 or more wins on the bounce.

The West Indies’ 11 wins were part of their 27-match undefeated streak, the longest by a team. Their unbeaten streak stretched for two years, from January 1982 to December 1984.

England and Australia are the other teams to remain undefeated in more than 20 Tests in a row. Australia has two such streaks.

In July 2025, South Africa became the third Test team to record 10 successive victories. Their streak has spanned across five countries, the most for a team.

Australia won 12 home Tests on the trot, the most by a team. Their successful run lasted for two years, from January 1999 to January 2001.

On the other hand, the West Indies have the longest away Test unbeaten streak. They went 11 matches without a loss in 1984.

However, It is Team India that holds the record for the most consecutive Test series wins at home.
