Led by the dynamic duo of Xavier Bartlett and Jake Fraser-McGurk, Australia delivered a masterclass performance, overpowering the West Indies in a sensational fashion. Bartlett's stellar bowling spells left the opposition struggling to muster any significant resistance, while Fraser-McGurk's aggressive batting onslaught demoralized the West Indian bowlers, propelling Australia towards an emphatic triumph.

The pivotal third ODI at Manuka Oval, Canberra, proved to be the crowning moment of Australia's campaign, as they decimated the West Indies with a display of sheer dominance. Chasing a modest target of 87 runs, Australia's batsmen unleashed a relentless assault, racing towards victory with breathtaking speed. Fraser-McGurk and Josh Inglis orchestrated a batting clinic, pulverizing the West Indian bowling attack with an array of sublime strokes, much to the delight of the home crowd.

The sight of Australia cruising to victory in just 6.5 overs, with a staggering 259 balls remaining, underscored their absolute superiority over the opposition. This resounding win not only secured Australia's 19th ODI whitewash series victory but also catapulted them above the West Indies in the esteemed list of most whitewashed opponents.

However, amidst the jubilation of their remarkable achievement, Australia remains keenly aware of the monumental challenge that lies ahead. Despite surpassing the West Indies, the Australian team is acutely aware that their ultimate goal remains unattained – eclipsing Pakistan's unparalleled legacy in the realm of ODI cricket.
