Crucial ton from Head 

Responding to WI's first innings total of 188, Australia were 52/3 when Head arrived in the middle. He eventually fell prey to Alzarri Joseph after scoring a 134-ball 119 (12 fours, 3 maximums).

Surpassed 3,000 runs

End of drought 

This was a much-needed ton for Head as he crossed the 50-run mark for the first time since his match-wining 137 against India in the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup final in November.
