Australia's formidable pace attack tore through the West Indies batting lineup in stunning fashion in Jamaica, bundling out the hosts for just 27 runs, the second-lowest total in Test history, as they wrapped up the series 3-0 in emphatic style.

The hero of the hour was Mitchell Starc, who produced a sensational spell to claim a five-wicket haul in just 15 balls-the fastest in Test history by balls bowled. In doing so, he also crossed the 400-wicket milestone, joining the elite list of Test fast bowlers.

Starc's opening over yielded figures of 3/0, immediately putting the West Indies under immense pressure. When his fifth wicket left the home side tottering at 7/5, Australia's victory was all but sealed.

The carnage continued as Scott Boland unleashed his own fury from the other end, picking up a hat-trick by dismissing Justin Greaves, Shamar Joseph, and Jomel Warrican in consecutive deliveries. It was a relentless pace assault, with no escape for the hosts as seven of their batters were dismissed for ducks.

Starc ended with astonishing figures of 6/9, setting a new benchmark for the best innings bowling figures in a player's 100th Test, surpassing Muthiah Muralidaran's 6/54 against Bangladesh in 2006. His final wicket, bowling out Jayden Seales, ended the West Indies innings in just 14.3 overs, making it one of the most brutal demolitions in the format's long history.
