    Mitchell Starc delivered the fastest five-wicket haul in Test history to help Australia demolish West Indies for just 27 runs on day three of the final Test in Kingston, sealing a 3-0 series sweep in the 2025 Frank Worrell Trophy.

    The 35-year-old left-armer tore through the West Indies top order, taking five wickets in just 15 balls—four deliveries quicker than the previous record. His final figures of 6-9 came during a devastating spell that also saw him reach 400 career Test wickets in his 100th appearance, joining Australian greats Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath and Nathan Lyon.

    Chasing 204 for victory, the West Indies collapsed to 0-3 after just one over and never recovered, narrowly avoiding the all-time lowest Test total of 26, set by New Zealand in 1955. Seven players were dismissed for ducks—a new record—and leg byes were the second-highest contributor to the total.

    Scott Boland added further misery with a hat-trick in the 14th over, before Starc bowled Jayden Seales to end the innings in just 14.3 overs.

    Australia had earlier been dismissed for 121, but their bowling unit sealed a dominant series after comfortable wins in Bridgetown and St George’s.
