After a stunning 3-0 victory in the Test series, Australia will look to blank West Indies in the T20I series when they clash in the fifth and final match at St Kitts on Monday.
West Indies haven't been able to keep up with a dominant Australian side, either in the Tests or the T20s, which is the home team's forte.
Shai Hope's team lost the two previous matches even after scoring 200-plus total. The visitors punished their toothless bowling attack, winning the third match by six wickets and the fourth by three wickets. With nothing but pride to play for, West Indies may just go all guns blazing in the final match of the series.

West Indies vs. Australia 5th T20I predicted XIs, team news
Brandon King and Shai Hope are the only two batters who have tried to take the attack to the Australians. Sherfane Rutherford tried to hit his way back to form but was dismissed on a score of 31, his best in this series so far.
Romario Shepherd, who was brought into the side after Andre Russell retired after the second T20I, has contributed with the bat and the ball.
Even though the West Indies have taken a beating in this series, they may have found a gem amidst the rubble. Medium pacer Jediah Blades, who made his debut in the tournament, was the star performer in the fourth match, with figures of 3 for 29.
With the series already lost, we may see West Indies give the younger players an opportunity in the final match.
West Indies predicted XI: Brandon King, Shai Hope (c/wk), Jewel Andrew, Roston Chase, Matthew Forde, Rovman Powell, Jason Holder, Akeal Hosein, Jediah Blades, Sherfane Rutherford, Romario Shepherd.
There are no fresh injury concerns for Australia, however Matthew Short is recovering from a side strain.
Australia made two changes to their playing XI in the last match: Tim David and star pacer Ben Dwarshuis were rested, and all-rounder Aaron Hardie and Xavier Bartlett were brought in. The visitors may retain them for the final match.
Even though Australia handed a debut to Matthew Kuhnemann earlier in the series, they are unlikely to start him on Monday. Adam Zampa, the top wicket-taker for Australia in this series with seven dismissals, is likely to continue as the lead spinner.
Australia predicted XI: Mitchell Marsh (c), Aaron Hardie, Josh Inglis (wk), Mitchell Owen, Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green, Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Ellis, Xavier Bartlett, Cooper Connolly, Adam Zampa.
