Australia Clinches Women's Ashes ODI Series

Australia's women's cricket team continues to dominate the Ashes series, recently securing an 86-run victory in the third ODI against England in Hobart. Ashleigh Gardner scored her first ODI century, supported by fifties from Beth Mooney and Tahlia McGrath, while Alana King took five wickets to dismantle the English batting lineup. Despite a strong start from England's Tammy Beaumont and Nat Sciver-Brunt, who both scored half-centuries, they fell short of Australia's total of 308/8. Earlier in the series, Australia managed a remarkable 21-run win in the second ODI, defending a low target of 180 thanks to standout performances from Kim Garth and Alana King. This victory puts Australia ahead 4-0 in the multi-format series, solidifying their control. The team has showcased resilience and strong bowling, particularly from their spinners, in overcoming challenging situations throughout the series.
