Starc reached the landmark of 400 test Wickets and Scott Boland completed a hat trick, but the hosts avoided the record low of New Zealand of 26, which were set up in 1955.
“We did not think things would go in the way with the ball today until the sun would go a little,” said Starc, after collecting the game and series prices.
“But still our bowling attack in the entire series was pretty much the money,” he added.
West Indian captain Royston Chase warned that his team will have to improve on Monday with the first of five T20 international matches.
