Australia leads the Commbank Women’s Ashes 2025, with Mooney`s performance and upcoming BBL knockout match highlighted.

Australia is showcasing its dominance in the Commbank Women’s Ashes 2025, leading the multi-format series 8-0 against England. In the first T20I, Australia secured a convincing 57-run victory despite the absence of key players Alyssa Healy and Ashleigh Gardner due to injuries. Healy is currently sidelined with a stress reaction in her foot, while Gardner is optimistic about returning from a mild calf strain for the upcoming matches.

The depth of the Australian squad was on full display as Georgia Voll, Kim Garth, and Alana King made impactful returns to the T20I lineup. Voll contributed 21 runs off just 12 balls, while Garth and King combined to take three wickets, demonstrating the team`s strong bench strength. Beth Mooney was the standout performer, top-scoring with 75 runs and praising the team`s improved fielding, a result of the new appointment of Gavan Twining as a full-time specialist fielding mentor.

The series continues with the second T20I scheduled for January 23 at Manuka Oval, Canberra. Australia has already retained the Ashes title, having won the first three ODIs and the first T20I comprehensively.
