Oz's Windies cricket tour ends with perfect 8-0 record post Test, T20 whitewash

Australia completed a sweep of the Twenty20 international cricket series with a three-wicket victory over West Indies on Monday to finish its Caribbean tour with an 8-0 record.
-
Australia went into the last game on a 7-match winning streak following the 3-0 Test series sweep and victories in the first four of the T20 internationals. It was Australia's first sweep of a five-game T20 series and only the second at the most elite level after India's in New Zealand in 2019-20.
"To be honest, I didn't expect 5-0," Australia captain Mitchell Marsh said. The sweep "was something we spoke about after the fourth game. We knew no Australian team had done it.
"It'll be something we're very proud of. Across the board over the five games, we played some really good cricket."
After winning the toss for the eighth straight time, Australia sent the home team in to bat and dismissed West Indies for 170 two balls short of the alloted 20 overs.
Shimron Hitmyer's 52 from 31 balls and Sherfane Rutherford's 35 off 17 propped up the innings but the target wasn't big enough to put genuine pressure on the Australian batters.
