You could just call it a Test as well. There are multiple shorter formats of cricket and they can be played very differently so it’s important to make the distinction between them.
For example in a 20 over match which usually takes about 3 hours, a small margin of victory like this would happen more frequently so it isn’t usually as noteworthy unless it’s a big game or tournament.
