Australia will look to finish the series with a clean sweep when they take on the West Indies in the third and final Test at Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica. The match, beginning on July 13, will be played under lights with a pink ball, the second-ever day-night Test in the Caribbean.
Having already retained the Frank Worrell Trophy with big wins in the first two Tests, Pat Cummins and his team will aim to end the tour on a high. This will also be Australia’s first pink-ball Test outside their home country.
The match will be a special one for Mitchell Starc, who is set to play his 100th Test. The left-arm fast bowler also has a chance to celebrate the milestone with 400 Test wickets. He is currently just five scalps away from achieving this feat.

On the other hand, the West Indies will be hoping to avoid a 3-0 defeat and give their fans something to cheer about at home. Their batting has failed in the last two Tests, which has been the main reason behind their defeats.

West Indies vs Australia Pitch Report: Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica
The pitch at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica, is likely to test both teams in different ways. Batters could get value for time early on, but only if they survive the new Dukes ball, which will swing more under lights as it is a day-night match. The challenge will increase when cracks appear and run-making becomes even harder.
