West Indies Vs Australia, 3rd Test Day 3: Starc, Boland Star As WI Bowled Out For Second-Lowest Total

Mitchell Starc took six wickets for nine runs and Scott Boland claimed a hat-trick as Australia dismissed the West Indies for 27 — the second-lowest total ever in test cricket — to win the third test by 176 runs on Monday. The West Indies missed the lowest score in test cricket by one run, due to a misfield. Starc’s first 15 balls delivered the fastest five-wicket haul in test history, and his 15th five-wicket innings in tests. The tall left-arm paceman took a wicket with the first ball of the West Indies’ second innings and three wickets in that first over — a triple-wicket maiden. Australia needed only 14.3 overs to rout the home team in the first day-night test at Sabina Park and complete a 3-0 series sweep.
