Australia bowled West Indies out for 27 at Kingston to complete a clean sweep of the three-match Test series. Here's what the 2025-27 World Test Championship points table looks like after the third Australia-West Indies Test.
Batting first in the opening innings, Australia managed only 225, with Shamar Joseph continuing to torment the visitors, taking 4-33. In reply, the West Indies were shot out for 143, spearheaded by Scott Boland’s 3-34. Australia took a crucial advantage into the second innings, as even a slender lead on such a spicy pitch was gold dust.
Shamar struck again with another four-wicket haul (4-34), while Alzarri Joseph’s 5-27 restricted Australia to just 121 in their second innings. Cushioned by their first-innings lead, they set a target of 204 for the West Indies.
Mitchell Starc, playing his 100th Test, was the wrecker-in-chief in the fourth innings. He shattered the West Indies' top order with a five-wicket haul in just 15 balls, the fastest in Test cricket history, surpassing Australia’s Ernie Toshack, who took 19 balls against India in 1947. The West Indies were bowled out for 27, the second-lowest total ever in a Test innings, with as many as seven batters recording ducks, the first time that has occurred in a single innings.
