England’s triumph not only brought them series parity but also marked Australia’s first bilateral ODI series defeat since 2013, highlighting the significance of the encounter. The home team owed their success to the exceptional performance of Nat Sciver-Brunt, who smashed a brilliant century in the match.

Sciver-Brunt’s century was her second consecutive ton, as she had previously scored a hundred in the second ODI, which unfortunately ended in a narrow three-run loss for England. The seasoned English batter showcased her skills once again, amassing a commanding 129 runs to propel her team to a competitive total of 285/9 in their allotted 50 overs.

Australia, tasked with chasing a revised target of 269 due to rain, faltered in their pursuit and were eventually bundled out for 199 runs, courtesy of an outstanding bowling display by Kate Cross. The right-arm pacer claimed three crucial wickets for 48 runs in her ??spell of 8 o?vers.

Among her victims were renowned players Alyssa Healy, Ellyse Perry, and Beth Mooney, but it was her dismissal of Healy that drew the most attention. In the third over of Australia’s chase, Cross executed a mesmerizing wobble seam delivery, pitching on a good length and sharply nipping back in towards Healy.

Healy attempted a defensive shot, but the small gap between her bat and pads proved fatal as the ball sneaked through, crashing onto the stumps in a dazzling display of skill and precision. The dismissal of Healy showcased Cross’ bowling prowess and left spectators in awe.

“We couldn’t regain the Ashes after the last game, but we knew there was still a series on the line. It was our goal to come here today and win, take the series 2-1 so I’m really proud of the girls,” said Cross after the match.

England spinner Sophie Ecclestone is optimistic about her team’s chances of staging a comeback in the ongoing Women’s Ashes 2023. Despite England trailing 0-6 in the points table following their defeat in the one-off Test match and a narrow loss in the first T20I, Ecclestone believes that her team is not far behind the dominant Australian side. She expressed her confidence while addressing the media ahead of ??the second ODI against Australia.

Australi??ans have been in exceptional form, remaining unbeaten in their last 39 completed white-ball fixtures across formats, a? streak that predates their two most recent World Cup triumphs. However, Ecclestone remains undeterred and draws inspiration from the unpredictable nature of cricket.

“We’ve seen weirder things happen than that in cricket. We’re up for the challenge, we know exactly what we need to do. We’re really not far away from them,” said Ecclestone. She emphasize??d that England has the talent and competitiveness to challenge the Australians, who are un??doubtedly a great team.

With England currently trailing in the series, they face the daunting task of winning all their remaining five limited-over matches to rec??laim t?he Ashes urn for the first time since 2015. While Ecclestone acknowledged the difficulty of the task, she believed in the capabilities of her team and their determination to deliver a strong performance.

“It’s obviously going to be a really hard task to beat the Aussies, five out of five, but we know what we need to do, and the girls are up for it tomorrow. So we’re hoping to put on a big show in front of the big crowd,” Ecclestone added.

Ecclestone’s confidence reflects the fighting spirit within the England camp as they gear up for the crucial matches ahead. Despite the odds stacked against them, they are motivated to challenge Australia’s supremacy and aim for a remarkable turnaround in the Women’s Ashes series. The second T20I will provide England with an opportunity to showcase their resilience and determination as they strive to narrow the points gap and regain momentum in the series.
