List of whitewashes in five-match T20I series in men’s cricket

Australia vs West Indies, 2025

West Indies' innings in the first game of the T20I series was a tale of two halves. They were absolutely cruising till halfway through to the 16th over, having already scored 150-plus. A middle and lower middle-order meltdown meant they could only manage 189/8, with Roston Chase top-scoring with a 32-ball 60. Playing his first T20I in over 15 months, Ben Dwarshuis (4/36 in 4 overs) picked up a four-wicket haul. Quick-fire fifties from Cameron Green (51 off 26) and debutant Mitchell Owen (50 off 27) sealed the win. Gudakesh Motie (2/29 in 4 overs) was the most economical bowler across both teams. However, Australia won the game with three wickets and seven balls in the bank. 

The second T20I, also played in Kingston, was Andre Russell's final international match for West Indies. He blasted his way to 36 (15), with Brandon King (51 off 36) top-scoring for the hosts. After going wicketless in the first match, Adam Zampa returned figures of 3/29 in 4 overs. Australia were 42/2 in 5.3 overs at one point. An unbeaten 131-run stand off just 59 deliveries between Josh Inglis (78* off 33) and Green (56* off 32) handed Australia the win. There were four West Indian bowlers (Alzarri Joseph, Motie, Roston Chase, Russell) who bowled at a 10-plus economy rate. Australia convincingly wrapped up the chase with eight wickets and 28 balls to spare. 

Coming to the third showdown, an unbeaten maiden T20I ton from skipper Shai Hope (102* off 57) propelled West Indies to 214/4. He was involved in a 125-run opening stand with King (62 off 36). Sean Abbott returned splendid figures of 0/21 in 4 overs. Despite scoring 65 in the powerplay, the Aussies had lost three wickets. The fourth wicket fell by the ninth over. Tim David played a ferocious knock (102* off 37) to take his team to victory. Akeal Hosein (0/39 in 4 overs) was the only West Indian to not concede 10-plus runs/over. The visitors claimed the win by six wickets and 23 balls remaining.

The fourth match of the series was played at Warner Park. Sherfane Rutherford's 31 off 15 was the top-scorer for West Indies. All in all, there were nine players from the home team to have scored in double digits. However, no one really capitalised on their start. Abbott and Zampa dismissed five batters from the opposition. They ended up conceding 115 in the 8 overs in the process. Mitchell Marsh was dismissed for a silver duck on the second ball of the second innings. Inglis departed on the first ball of the seventh over, but after scoring 51 off 30. Green remained unbeaten on 55 off 35, but the POTM accolade was provided to Glenn Maxwell (2 catches and 47 off 18). It was a final-over finish with Australia winning by three wickets and four balls left. 

The final match was the third successive match played at St Kitts. Shimron Hetmyer (52 off 31) finally came good to get to his first fifty in the series after a sequence of underwhelming outings. West Indies got bowled out for 170 in 19.4 overs. Dwarshuis ended his four overs with a three-for while conceding 41 runs. Despite Australia being well ahead of the asking rate by the end of the first six overs, they found themselves four down already with 67 on the board. Three 30s from Green (32 off 18), David (30 off 12), and Owen (37 off 17) ensured their team crossed the finish line. Having picked up just two wickets in four matches, Akeal Hosein (3/17 in 4 overs) put in his best performance in the final match. Despite this, the visitors secured the triumph with seven wickets down and three overs to go.
