WI vs AUS Tests: Pink-ball magician Mitchell Starc conjured a spellbinding display in his 100th Test to unleash his trademark ferocity on the West Indies as the veteran speedster picked up six wickets for just nine runs in 7.3 overs, bundling out the hosts for 27 -- the second lowest by any team in the history of Test cricket.

In the third and final Test of the series, the veteran speedster brought out his artistry with the ball and to add splendour, Scott Boland's clinical hat-trick left the West Indies battered and bruised.

Starc also bagged the fastest ever Test five-wicket haul by balls bowled (15) while passing the 400-wicket milestone.

The 27-run total that the hosts mustered is just one shy of the all-time Test low, which was set when England dismissed New Zealand for that paltry 26 in 1955.

Lowest totals in Test history

1) New Zealand - 26 vs England, 1955

2) West Indies - 27 vs Australia, 2025

3) South Africa - 30 vs England, 1896

4) South Africa - 30 vs England, 1924

5) South Africa - 35 vs England, 1899

The hosts earlier skittled out Pat Cummins-led Australia for 121 runs in the second innings, but what transpired in the 204 chase was not expected by anyone.
