Australia have achieved an 8-0 clean sweep on their tour of the Caribbean, beating West Indies by three wickets in the fifth and final T20 international in St Kitts, in Adam Zampa’s 100th T20 match. Again electing to bowl first, Australia dismissed the home side for 170, before reaching the target with three overs to spare, thanks to the middle order batters.
Ben Dwarshuis was named player of the match for taking 3/41 while Cameron Green was named player of the series.
They also won 8 tosses in a row including the tests. Probability 1 in 256!
Westpac’s partnership with CA was officially unveiled in Sydney this morning, even though the deal actually commenced on July 1, and the logo appeared on the shirt of Australia A players during the recent match against Sri Lanka A.
Under the agreement, Westpac’s logo will be front and centre on the shirts of the Australian men’s and women’s teams for all matches played in Australia across Test, One-Day and T20 formats, as well as Australia A and under 19s. Westpac also becomes an Official Partner of the men’s and women’s Big Bash Leagues.
AFR reports the new deal is believed to be worth $10 million annually over four years.

It’s uncanny how similar the 1st innings scores have been in the ENG v IND Test series.
1st Test - IND 471, ENG 465 (6 runs)
3rd Test - ENG 387, IND 387 (tied)
5th (current and final) Test - IND 224, ENG 247 (23 runs)
The final day of the ENG v IND Test series is tonight (our time).
England needs 35 runs to win the 5th Test with 4 wickets in hand, all main batters are out. They should win from here to take the series 3-1 but a couple of early wickets could make it interesting. 30% chance of showers.
Keep in mind they really only have 3 wickets in hand because Chris Woakes is out hurt with a shoulder injury.
Wow, incredible finish ENG v IND, India winning by 6 runs for a 2-2 drawn series.
Woakes batted with his arm in a sling, but thankfully didn’t need to face a ball.
All 5 tests went to 5 days
