Australia has completed a dominant Caribbean tour, finishing with an undefeated 8‑0 record across three Tests (3‑0) and five T20 Internationals (5‑0) against the West Indies.
With a dominant win in the final T20I at Trinidad, the Aussies underlined their supremacy in both red and white-ball formats, sending a strong message ahead of the upcoming international season.
8 Games, 8 Wins – Australia’s Clean Sweep
The tour began with a 3-0 sweep in the Test series, where Australia outclassed the West Indies in all departments. That winning momentum continued into the T20Is, where they completed a 5-0 whitewash, topped off by a convincing seven-wicket victory in the final game at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy.
In between, Australia also secured victory in a tour match, making it eight straight wins on Caribbean soil — a rare and remarkable achievement.
The most alarming moment came in the third Test, where West Indies were bowled out for just 27 runs, their lowest total in Test history, and the second-lowest ever in Test cricket overall. Australia’s pace battery — particularly Mitchell Starc, who claimed 6 wickets for 9 runs in just 15 balls — ripped through their top and middle order with ease.
