Worst defeat to Australia, Indies bowled out for just 27 runs

Australia defeated the West Indies by 176 runs in the third and final day-night Test match.

The West Indies team could only score 27 runs in the second innings, which is the second lowest total in a full Test innings in the 70-year history.

The West Indies team came close to the 70-year-old record for the lowest Test innings, before which the New Zealand team was dismissed for 26 runs against England in Auckland in 1955.

In addition, the South African team has been dismissed for 30 runs twice.

A record seven West Indies players were dismissed for a duck in an innings, and four batsmen fell for a golden duck.

Australian fast bowler Scott Boland took a hat-trick, and Mitchell Starc completed 400 wickets in his 100th Test. Starc bowled the best of his career and took six wickets for nine runs. He was declared the man of the match.

Australia scored 225 in the first innings and 121 in the second innings, while the West Indies scored 143 in the first innings and 27 in the second innings.

Australia won the three-Test series in the West Indies by 3-0.
