Five instances when Australia won an ODI series 5-0 

#2 West Indies vs Australia, 2008

West Indies features twice on this list.

The five-match ODI series was contested between the two sides as part of Australia's tour of West Indies in 2008. Australia had already won the 3 match Test series 2-0 and were now eyeing a victory in the ODI series. Australia completely dominated the Caribbean side, winning the first three matches by 84 runs, 63 runs, and 7 wickets respectively.

In the fourth ODI, the home side put up a spirited performance and came tantalizingly close to winning the match. Chasing 283, WI required 12 runs from the last 12 balls. An economical penultimate over from Nathan Bracken, conceding only 4 runs, meant that Windies required 8 from the final over. Shane Watson kept his cool and conceded only 6 singles in his last over, handing a memorable victory to the Aussies by a solitary run.

The fifth ODI reiterated the fact that the world's most dominant side could not be kept quiet for very long. A thumping 169 run victory sealed the cup for the Aussies.

#3 Australia vs Pakistan, 2010

The 5-0 series loss coincided with a very tumultuous phase in Pakistan Cricket.

If there ever was one tour between these two sides where one team comprehensively obliterated the other, this may just be it. Australia won the three-match test series 3-0, the 5 match ODI series 5-0, and the sole T20I.

The Pakistan team did put up some performances worth mentioning, but couldn't consolidate the efforts into a win. Australia won the closely fought first ODI by 5 wickets, the forgettable second match by 140 runs, the series sealer third by 40 runs, the ridiculously one-sided fourth by 135 runs, and the nail-biting fifth match by 2 wickets and 4 balls to spare.
