Australia Secures Women's Ashes After Defeating England by 57 Runs

Australia women are set to face England women in the second T20I of the Women's Ashes 2025 at Manuka Oval in Canberra on January 23, following their dominant 57-run victory in the first match at the Sydney Cricket Ground. In that match, Australia scored 198 runs, led by Beth Mooney's impressive 75 runs, while England could only manage 141 runs, despite a spirited 59 from Sophia Dunkley. This loss puts England in a challenging position, having already lost the ODI series 0-3, as they now trail 8-0 in the multi-format series. The upcoming match is crucial for England, as winning would allow them to avoid a series defeat, while Australia aims to extend their lead. The match will be broadcast live in India on the Star Sports Network and available for streaming on Disney+ Hotstar. With the stakes high, both teams are preparing for an intense encounter in Canberra.
