The visitors, the Australian cricket team, made history by bowling out their opponents, the West Indies, for just 27 runs on the third day of the third Test match at Kingston, Jamaica. This helped Australia secure a 176-run win and secure a whitewash over the Caribbean side in a three-match Test series. The hosts could bat only 14.3 overs in the second innings. Mitchell Starc took six wickets for 9 runs, while Scott Boland and Josh Hazlewood took 3 and 1 wicket respectively.
West Indies registered their lowest team total and became the second cricket team in Test history to be bowled out for fewer than 30 runs, after New Zealand, who were dismissed for only 26 by England at Auckland in March 1955.
