AU-W vs EN-W 3rd ODI Preview
Australia Women are on fire, having won the first two ODIs and showcasing their dominance. The second match in Melbourne saw Australia defend a modest 180, thanks to Ellyse Perry’s classy knock of 60 and Alana King’s four-wicket haul. With the series secured, the Aussies will look for a clean sweep in Hobart.
England Women, despite a valiant effort, couldn’t capitalize on their bowling brilliance in the second ODI. Sophie Ecclestone and Alice Capsey were exceptional with the ball, but the batting lineup faltered, leaving Amy Jones and Nat Sciver-Brunt to carry the burden.
