Australia secured a historic 3-0 series sweep over West Indies in the one day internationals (ODI) as Xavier Bartlett’s impressive bowling performance limited the tourists to 86 runs. Bartlett claimed four wickets setting the stage for Australia to chase the target in just 6.5 overs and secure an eight-wicket victory marking the shortest completed men’s ODI in Australia and the sixth-fastest worldwide. 

Jake Fraser-McGurk’s explosive 41 and a solid partnership with Josh Inglis (35 not out) led Australia to a comfortable win. Bartlett named player of the match and series expressed his joy at experiencing international cricket and contributing to the series win. West Indies captain Shai Hope acknowledged their batting struggles and emphasized the need for improvement in the upcoming T20I series.
