Australia completed a 3&ndash;0 series sweep over the West Indies with a dominant 176‑run victory in the third Test at Sabina Park, packing the final punch by bowling the hosts out for a mere 27 runs, the second‑lowest innings total in Test history.

Mitchell Starc, in his 100th Test, delivered a spectacular spell: 6/9, including the fastest-ever five-wicket haul in just 15 balls, and claimed his 400th Test wicket. Soon after, Scott Boland secured a hat-trick, becoming Australia&rsquo;s 10th bowler to do so.

Chasing 204, the hosts collapsed to 27 all out in just 14.3 overs &mdash; seven batsmen went for ducks. A misfield spared them from matching the all-time low of 26. Their only resistance came from Justin Greaves, who scored the team&rsquo;s sole double-digit figure before Boland&rsquo;s brutal hat-trick.

Pat Cummins, Australia&rsquo;s captain, <a href="https://www.news.com.au/sport/cricket/australia-rolled-the-west-indies-for-the-second-lowest-score-in-history-to-score-a-30-series-clean-sweep/news-story/8e05995b3eecd0aabe03e6b541753750">hailed Starc&rsquo;s spell</a> as &ldquo;real Mitchell Starc&hellip; tearing an opposition apart.&rdquo; Roston Chase, facing a rare humiliation, called it &quot;quite embarrassing&quot; and emphasised repeated batting failures over the series.

<h2>What this defeat says</h2>

<ul>
	<li>Bowling supremacy: Australia&rsquo;s pace-friendly strategy paid off emphatically, with Starc and Boland spearheading domination. 
	&nbsp;</li>
	<li>West Indies&rsquo; batting woes: Their top and middle order crumbled under pressure, repeating a concerning pattern from earlier Tests 
	&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Legacy moments: Starc&rsquo;s milestones and Boland&rsquo;s hat-trick will be remembered as career-defining highlights.</li>
</ul>

Australia&rsquo;s clinically brutal finishing act at Sabina Park&mdash;bowling out the West Indies for 27 in a gritty day-night Test&mdash;underscores their dominance in the Ashes build-up and cements their status as the world&rsquo;s leading Test bowling side. Meanwhile, the West Indies face urgent calls for structural and talent revamps ahead of their next series.

Australia bowl out West Indies for just 27 to seal 3-0 Test sweep

Cricket West Indies (CWI) president Kishore Shallow has reportedly called an emergency meeting following the team&rsquo;s humiliating performance against Australia in the recently concluded Test series.

The West Indies were bowled out for just 27 runs&mdash;their second-lowest total in Test history&mdash;during the final match in Perth, raising serious concerns about the team&rsquo;s form, selection, and long-term strategy in red-ball cricket.

According to Caribbean media, the CWI board will meet this week to discuss the team&rsquo;s future and review what went wrong during the Australian tour. &ldquo;This is not something we can ignore,&rdquo; a senior CWI official told Barbados Today. &ldquo;The way we collapsed, especially in the last Test, shows that something is fundamentally broken.&rdquo;

West Indies lost the two-match Test series 2-0, and critics have pointed to technical flaws, poor shot selection, and lack of depth in the squad. Head coach Andre Coley and team director Miles Bascombe are expected to present their reports at the meeting, along with recommendations for the upcoming home season.

<a href="https://a-sports.tv/west-indies-chief-calls-emergency-meeting-after-australia-debacle">President Kishore Shallow</a> is also expected to speak to the players individually and assess the morale inside the camp. &ldquo;We have to be honest about where we are as a team and make the necessary changes,&rdquo; he told Loop News Caribbean in a brief statement.

The shocking collapse to 27 all out has triggered backlash from fans and former players alike. Cricket legends like Curtly Ambrose and Ian Bishop have called for a stronger domestic structure and better preparation for overseas tours.

Meanwhile, several names from West Indies A and U-19 squads are being considered for future series, as the board looks to rebuild confidence and competitiveness in red-ball cricket.

The next Test assignment for West Indies is expected later this year, and all eyes will now be on what decisions come out of this urgent meeting.

As of July 2025, West Indies narrowly leads the T20I head-to-head with 10 wins to Australia&rsquo;s 9. This neck-and-neck record highlights the competitive nature of their encounters&mdash;every game has felt like a toss-up.

<h2>Historic Matches &amp; Iconic Moments</h2>

<h3>2009 T20I at The Oval &ndash; Gayle&#39;s Dominance</h3>

West Indies crushed Australia in the 2009 T20 World Cup, with Chris Gayle smashing 88 off 50 balls. It was a statement win that established West Indies as a T20 force.

<h3>2021 Series in West Indies &ndash; WI Win 4&ndash;1</h3>

One of the most memorable recent series, West Indies dominated a five-match contest at home, with Andre Russell, Lendl Simmons, and Hayden Walsh Jr starring. Australia, without some senior names, struggled with spin and pace.

<h3>2022 T20 World Cup Warm-Up &ndash; Warner&#39;s Blitz</h3>

In a short but explosive warm-up, David Warner returned to form with a quickfire 75, reminding West Indies of his threat at the top. Though it was unofficial, it showcased Australia&rsquo;s depth ahead of the T20 World Cup.

<h3>July 2025 &ndash; Australia Clinch Series Early</h3>

In the ongoing tour, Australia took a 2&ndash;0 lead, with strong batting displays and clutch bowling at the death. Glenn Maxwell and Josh Hazlewood have been instrumental so far.

From power hitters to precision bowlers, here are the top players to watch in the WI vs AUS 3rd T20I&mdash;especially if you&#39;re eyeing fantasy cricket picks or simply want to follow the match-winners.

<h2>West Indies &ndash; Players to Watch</h2>

<h3>Nicholas Pooran &ndash; The Power Finisher</h3>

Pooran is West Indies&rsquo; most dangerous middle-order weapon. His quick hands, sharp footwork, and explosive strokeplay make him a nightmare for bowlers&mdash;especially in the final overs.

<ul>
	<li>Form: Consistent strike rate above 150 
	&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Match-Winner Potential: Can flip games in 20 balls 
	&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Fantasy Tip: A must-have for middle-order value 
	&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

Jason Holder &ndash; The X-Factor All-Rounder

Holder&rsquo;s calm head, bounce-friendly bowling, and lower-order batting punch offer crucial balance. On slower surfaces like Warner Park, he&rsquo;s often the one breaking partnerships.

<ul>
	<li>Key Role: Powerplay and death overs bowler 
	&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Bonus: Handy 20&ndash;30 runs with the bat 
	&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Fantasy Tip: High impact with both ball and bat 
	&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

Akeal Hosein &ndash; Spin in the Powerplay

Akeal&rsquo;s left-arm spin is West Indies&rsquo; control weapon. He attacks the stumps and varies pace well, making him effective against both right-handers and lefties.

<ul>
	<li>Match Impact: Breaks partnerships in the middle 
	&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Pitch Factor: Warner Park offers some grip 
	&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Fantasy Tip: Budget spinner who delivers economy + wickets 
	&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

Andre Russell &ndash; The Big Showman

Though inconsistent, Russell is always one ball away from lighting up the match. He hasn&rsquo;t exploded in this series yet&mdash;but when he does, it&rsquo;s unmissable.

<ul>
	<li>Batting Strike Rate: Career T20I SR over 160 
	&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Bowling Edge: Tough overs at the death 
	&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Fantasy Tip: Risk-reward pick who can top the charts 
	&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

<h2>Australia &ndash; Players to Watch</h2>

<h3>Glenn Maxwell &ndash; The Game Changer</h3>

Maxwell&rsquo;s all-round impact has been key for Australia. He&rsquo;s been among the runs and also taken vital wickets with his off-spin, especially when breaking partnerships.

<ul>
	<li>Stats This Series: 42 runs &amp; 2/21 in 2nd T20I 
	&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Strength: Unorthodox shot range &amp; smart bowling 
	&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Fantasy Tip: Lock him in for multi-role points 
	&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

Josh Inglis &ndash; The Solid Starter

Inglis has been reliable up top, giving Australia consistent starts. His balance of aggression and technique helps set the tone in the powerplay.

<ul>
	<li>Runs This Series: 35+ averages 
	&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Approach: Busy player, great against spin 
	&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Fantasy Tip: Safer batting option than riskier big-hitters 
	&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

Nathan Ellis &ndash; Death Over Specialist

Ellis has been quietly brilliant with the ball. His ability to bowl accurate yorkers and deceive batters with pace variations makes him a tough finisher to face.

<ul>
	<li>Role: Overs 17&ndash;20 
	&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Wicket-Taking Threat: Especially in the last 5 
	&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Fantasy Tip: Underrated pick with upside for 2+ wickets 
	&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

Adam Zampa &ndash; Spin Maestro

Zampa&rsquo;s been a handful for West Indies, especially in the middle overs. His leg spin has taken key wickets and kept scoring in check.

<ul>
	<li>Match-Ups: Trouble for left-handers like Pooran 
	&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Control: Minimal loose deliveries 
	&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Fantasy Tip: Reliable spin option with strong wicket economy 
	&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

<h2>Bonus Watch &ndash; Youngsters on the Radar</h2>

<ul>
	<li>Jake Fraser-McGurk (AUS): Yet to fully explode, but his fearless batting makes him one to watch if included. 
	&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Jediah Blades (WI): A wildcard pick if given a chance. Talented and athletic, could make an impact in fielding and with the bat. 
	&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
