Australia’s gap at the top of women’s cricket has narrowed but their trophy cabinet will remain full, after holding on to retain the Ashes with a three-run ODI win over England.
Australia’s spinners were the heroes for the visitors, with Ashleigh Gardner and Alana King both claiming three wickets after Ellyse Perry top-scored with 91.Georgia Wareham’s effort with the bat also proved decisive for Australia, slamming 26 off the final six balls from Lauren Bell to boost the target.
But this success has been far from comfortable for an Australian team that has traditionally been all-conquering. However, England claimed victory in the next three matches to go into the Southampton clash with the scoreline at 6-6 and with the series on the line.
