Australia had set a target of 204 — tricky, but achievable, as West Indies sought to claim a morale-boosting consolation victory. Already 2-0 down in their three-Test series, West Indies were demolished for just 27, the second-lowest total in Test history after New Zealand’s 26 against England 70 years ago.

Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc took 6-9 as the West Indies made the second-lowest score in Test history, suffering a humiliating 176-run defeat at Sabina Park on Monday.

Rishabh Pant broke the record of Viv Richards for most sixes against England in Test cricket history. The India keeper-batter surpassed the former West Indies international in the third Test against England at the iconic Lord's.
