Time for presentation...
Another dominating display from the Aussies. This result was never in doubt after their bowlers bowled the Windies out for a very small score. Jake Fraser-McGurk came out all guns blazing and scored a quick fire 41. They did lose him and Hardie in quick succession but Smith and Inglis ensured there were no more wickets to fall and have completed the whitewash.
