Xavier Bartlett

That's it from this game and the ODI series. The Aussies won all three games and quite easily. Now it is time for the T20I series which begins on the 9th of this month. Action starts at 1330 IST (0800 GMT). Till then, take care and goodbye!

Steven Smith says it was a good result and everything worked off for them in this game. Adds the bowlers were brilliant and Jake was really fun to watch and he hopes he keeps playing like this. Ends by saying he enjoyed captaining the side and the guys made it easier for him.

Shai Hope says the batting let them down in this series. Adds the mind set has not been the best and they need to adapt better to different conditions. Ends by saying he is looking forward for the T20I series.

Man of the Series and Match, Xavier Bartlett says he is very happy and very pleased to perform the way he did. Adds he was just trying to take wickets and he was well supported by the field set for him. Ends by saying he is enjoying being in this side and he is happy they are doing well.

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.
