Australia looking for a whitewash?
Australia has never whitewashed the West Indies in a T20I series in the West Indies. They did it once in Australia in a two-match series ( 2-0 ) in 2022. This is their first T20I series win against West Indies in their home soil, and Australia has the opportunity to turn it into a memorable one.
Last time when Australia played a T20I series in West Indies, they were beaten by the Carribeans for 4-1. Now, they have given it back by winning the first four matches straight and will be looking for a clean sweep, while the hosts will try their best to avoid a white wash at home.
