Australia Takes Charge in Women`s Ashes Series

Australia has made a strong start in the 2025 Women's Ashes series, securing victory in the first one-day international by four wickets with 67 balls remaining. The team showcased their dominance, with captain Alyssa Healy leading from the front, scoring 70 runs. Ash Gardner also played a crucial role, contributing an unbeaten 42 runs and taking 3 wickets for 19 runs with the ball.

In the second ODI, England won the toss and opted to field, allowing Australia to bat first. Both teams remained unchanged from the previous match, indicating a consistent strategy as they compete in this prestigious series. Healy expressed satisfaction with the team's performance but acknowledged the need for improvement, particularly in maintaining batting clinicality towards the end of the innings.

England's captain Heather Knight recognized her team's efforts, particularly praising the outstanding bowling performance by Lauren Bell. However, she noted the necessity for her team to sharpen their skills ahead of the next match. Currently, Australia leads the series 2-0, with the second ODI taking place at the Junction Oval, starting at 105 am local time.
