It appeared to be a serious blow with Khawaja spitting out blood. Australia were just chasing a total of 26, which they pulled off just ahead of the lunch.

In the match summary, Australia had decided to bowl after winning the toss, bowling out West Indies for 188 in the first innings with Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins returning with four wickets each. In their first Innings, Australia notched up 283, with Travis Head guiding the side to a competitive score with his 119-run knock. Australia restricted West Indies to 120 in the second innings, which helped visitors set the mere total of 26.
