Australia leads the Commbank Women’s Ashes 2025 after a strong T20I win against England at SCG.

Australia has surged to an impressive 8-0 lead in the Commbank Women’s Ashes 2025, showcasing their dominance in the multi-format series. The first T20I, held at the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground on January 20, saw Australia secure a convincing victory by 57 runs. Despite the absence of key players Alyssa Healy and Ashleigh Gardner due to injuries, the Australian team delivered a formidable performance.

Winning the toss, England captain Heather Knight opted to field first. However, Australia capitalized on this decision, amassing a formidable total of 198 runs for the loss of 8 wickets. The Australian batting lineup was relentless, with standout contributions that set a challenging target for the English side. In response, England struggled to maintain pressure, ultimately finishing their innings at 141 runs for 9 wickets. Sophia Dunkley emerged as the highlight for England, scoring a brisk 59 runs off just 30 balls.

As the series progresses, the focus shifts to Canberra for the second T20I at Manuka Oval on January 23, followed by the third T20I in Adelaide on January 25. Australia will be keenly assessing the injuries to Healy and Gardner, while England must regroup and strategize to secure their first points of the tour. The stakes are high as both teams look to assert their dominance in this historic rivalry.
