Australia head into the third and final Test at Sabina Park eyeing a clean 3-0 sweep over a struggling West Indies side with the Frank Worrell Trophy already sealed. Pat Cummins’ men have dominated the series so far, driven by their world-class bowling unit despite inconsistent batting displays.
All eyes will be on Mitchell Starc, who is set to play his 100th Test joining Glenn McGrath as only the second Australian fast bowler to reach the milestone. Meanwhile, West Indies, led by Roston Chase, will look to salvage pride and avoid a whitewash on home soil.
