Australia is gearing up to face West Indies in the third and final Test of the Frank Worrell Trophy series, aiming for a commanding 3-0 clean sweep.
The Decisive Final Test
Pat Cummins’ Australian side has already secured the Frank Worrell Trophy with convincing victories in the first two Test matches. They now have their sights set on a colossal whitewash, a dominant 3-0 series win over the West Indies.
Despite some batting struggles, Australia’s legendary bowling quartet has consistently delivered clinical performances, propelling them to victory. For Roston Chase’s West Indies squad, this match is all about fighting for pride and avoiding the ignominy of a complete series loss on home soil.
Starc’s Milestone Match
All eyes will be on Australia’s left-arm pace ace, Mitchell Starc, as he prepares for a significant milestone. The 35-year-old seamer is set to play his 100th Test appearance in Jamaica.
This achievement makes Starc only the second Australian fast bowler in history to reach this incredible feat, following in the footsteps of the legendary Glenn McGrath.
