Clean Sweep! Australia cap off Caribbean tour with a perfect 8-0 record in Tests and T20s

Australia capped off a dominant Caribbean tour with a clean sweep, defeating West Indies by three wickets in the final T20I on Monday to finish the trip with a flawless 8-0 record across formats. The Aussies had already secured a 3-0 sweep in the Test series and won the first four T20Is heading into the tour finale.

Winning the toss for the eighth consecutive time, Australia opted to bowl and dismissed West Indies for 170 in 19.4 overs. Shimron Hetmyer top-scored with a brisk 52 from 31 balls, while Sherfane Rutherford added 35 off 17 deliveries. Despite the late surge, the total wasn’t enough to put Australia under lasting pressure.



Ben Dwarshuis led the Australian bowling attack with 3-41, while Nathan Ellis chipped in with 2-32. Adam Zampa, celebrating his 100th T20 international, took 1-20 and was unlucky not to have more, as a catch went down in the penultimate over.


Australia’s chase was rocky early on, with Jason Holder and Alzarri Joseph reducing them to 29-3 in just over two overs. Holder dismissed Glenn Maxwell for a golden duck and removed Josh Inglis, while Joseph bowled Mitch Marsh and later ended Tim David’s explosive cameo of 30 off 12.

At 60-4, Mitchell Owen (37 off 17) and Cameron Green (32 off 18) turned the tide with a match-defining 63-run stand for the fifth wicket. Owen smashed multiple sixes, including one that landed on the pavilion roof.

Akeal Hosein provided a late twist, taking 3-17, including the wickets of Owen, Green, and Dwarshuis, but Australia still reached the target with 18 balls to spare. Aaron Hardie remained unbeaten on 28.

The win sealed Australia’s 8-0 sweep and reinforced their status as a dominant force across formats.
