Overview

  • Australia won the toss for the eighth consecutive match and bowled out West Indies for 170 in 19.4 overs to seize early control in the fifth T20I.
  • Ben Dwarshuis starred with figures of 3 for 41, supported by Nathan Ellis and Adam Zampa keeping the hosts in check during the death overs.
  • Cameron Green’s unbeaten 32 and a 63-run stand with Mitchell Owen rescued Australia from 60-4 and guided them to 173-7 with three overs to spare.
  • The 5-0 T20I clean sweep made Australia only the second full-member nation after India to whitewash another Test-playing side in a five-match series.
  • Emerging players like Aaron Hardie, who finished 28 not out, reinforced Australia’s depth as West Indies enter a period of reflection after successive whitewashes.
