In a commanding display of modern T20 dominance, Australia completed a historic 5–0 series sweep over the West Indies during their July 2025 Caribbean tour. After clinching the Tests by 3–0 under the Frank Worrell Trophy, the Aussies carried their momentum into the shorter format, where they won every one of the five T20 Internationals — the first ever clean sweep in a five‑match T20I series between them .
The defining moment came in the fifth and final T20I at Warner Park, Basseterre, where Australia chased down a target of 171 with three wickets in hand and 18 balls to spare . They had earlier restricted the West Indies to their lowest total of the series, 170 all out, thanks largely to disciplined bowling from Ben Dwarshuis (3–41) and Adam Zampa (1–20), who celebrated his 100th T20I cap . With the bat, Cameron Green (32 off 18), Tim David (30 off 11), and debutant Mitch Owen (37 off 16) all played crucial roles, while Aaron Hardie’s composed 28* sealed the victory in style .
The series also featured standout performances like Tim David’s record‑breaking 102 * in the third T20 and Maxwell’s spectacular fielding heroics in the fourth, which included incredible airborne saves and a pivotal catch featuring a relay with Green . This sweep not only showcased Australia’s depth, explosiveness, and elite fielding standards, but also highlighted a worrying nadir in West Indies cricket — who had earlier been bowled out for just 27 in the third Test and blanked across both formats — prompting calls for urgent introspection and restructuring .
