A whitewash means that in a series of matches, a team has lost without winning a single match. In this example, Pakistan was whitewashed 3-0 by England.

This term originated in the time of baseball in the 19th century when a team that could not put any runs on the board was said to have been "whitewashed" by their opponent. In cricket, the word "whitewash" is frequently used synonymously with "clean sweep" for an unbeaten series victory.
