Hazlewood 5-for Leads Australia to Three-Day Win over West Indies in Barbados Test

On June 25, 2025, at Kensington Oval in Barbados, West Indies bowlers Jayden Seales and Shamar Joseph bowled Australia out for 180 in the first Test's opening day.
Australia's top order wilted under pressure due to the West Indies' plan to bowl fuller and at the stumps, exploiting a lively pitch and inducing early wickets.
Seales took a five-wicket haul including dismissing Alex Carey, while Joseph claimed four wickets including Usman Khawaja for 47, and Travis Head scored 59 with an 89-run partnership with Khawaja.
Seales called the five-wicket performance "pretty special for me," recalling a previous injury against Australia and highlighting the success of bowling full and at the stumps as key tactics.
Australia faced a precarious position after losing early wickets, with the West Indies leading at stumps 57 for four and the visitors needing to address their batting stability ahead in the series.
