The Test match's turning point came as Hazlewood ripped through the West Indies' batting lineup, paving the way for Australia's comprehensive win.
Powered by exemplary pace and precision, Hazlewood delivered a stunning second-innings spell, taking five wickets for 43 runs. His efforts, complemented by vital contributions from Travis Head, Beau Webster, and Alex Carey, propelled Australia to an unassailable position after a shaky start in the first innings.
Despite an initial 10-run lead by the West Indies, Australia staged a robust comeback, transforming the contest into a one-sided affair. Cummins, while acknowledging the close nature of the match, emphasized the strength of their response and readiness for their next Test, beginning July 3.
