Harris targets 16-0 sweep in Women's Ashes against England

Australia has secured the Women's Ashes 2025 with a six-run victory in the second T20I, extending their lead to 10-0 in the multi-format series. Batter Grace Harris, who contributed a significant 35 runs, expressed the team's ambition for a 16-0 clean sweep, aiming to 'embarrass' England after their previous series draw in 2023. Stand-in captain Tahlia McGrath shared her relief at clinching the Ashes early, reflecting on the team's hunger for success following their past experiences. Despite Australia's dominance, England had opportunities to turn the tide, notably falling short in their pursuit of 181 runs and pushing Australia to the final over in the T20I. Harris acknowledged England's competitive nature but remained focused on finishing the series strongly, emphasizing the importance of not allowing the visitors to gain momentum. The final T20I and a four-day Test at the MCG follow, where Australia hopes to maintain their winning streak.
