The Women’s Ashes has been a cliffhanger with the pendulum swinging unpredictable in every encounter, just like the Men’s Ashes. The women’s team led by Alyssa Healy lost three straight games after winning the lone Test and the first T20I. Due to their brief but considerable winning streak, England was able to tie the score at 6-6 said Ellyse Perry.
But on Sunday, July 16, the defending champions defeated the home team by three runs, winning the second One-Day International 8-6 and retaining the Women’s Ashes.
If England prevails in the third and final ODI on Tuesday, July 18, in Taunton, they may now at best draw the Ashes. The Ashes will be won by winning the final game, according to renowned Australian all-rounder Ellyse Perry. She added that up until this point, her squad had failed to play its ideal game.
It’s always lovely to win the Ashes, so it’s a terrific challenge for us, the players remarked. “That final game in Taunton is really important to us,” they said. Everyone is focused on winning the final game, Perry said, as quoted by cricketmood on Sunday.
The group’s full performance, which hasn’t yet materialized, is perhaps something else we’ve been seeking. We’ve had some very strong moments in our cricket, and today was one of our stronger performances on this trip because to the way we battled through and regained the initiative at key moments. However, I believe there is still a lot of room for improvement. To win the Ashes rather than keep them, as I said, is a wonderful carrot, Perry added.
The knock from Ellyse Perry provided a platform for Australia’s finishers.
Ellyse Perry scored 91 runs in 124 balls to lead Australia’s innings after Heather Knight urged the visitors to bat first.During her key innings, the 32-year-old smacked a six and nine boundaries.
Perry laid the foundation, and Annabel Sutherland and Georgia Wareham added to it with cunning shots, putting Australia to 282/7 in their 50 overs. Nat Sciver-Brunt responded for England with an unbroken 111 from 99 balls, but his side was unable to reach the finish line. Only three runs separated the hosts from an agonizing victory.
