TEAMS PREVIEW

Australia Preview

Australia Women are currently ranked top in the T20 International Women's Ranking of ICC. In the last one year period, Australia Women have played 16 T20s and have lost just two games. The win-loss ratio of 7.00 is the best among the teams playing more than 15 games.

After winning the ODI Series 3-0, Australia Women won the first T20 International against England Women quite comfortably by 57 runs. Batting first, Australia Women managed to put on a huge score of 198 for 7 in 20 overs. Beth Mooney, the opener, scored 75 of just 51 balls with 11 fours. In defense, Georgia Wareham, 3 wickets for 25 runs, and Alana King, 2 wickets for 14 runs, derailed the England Women's chase as Australia Women bundled the opposition out for 141 in the 16th over.

The second T20I against England Women proved to be a very dramatic game. It was eventually decided by DLS, but Australia were always on top of this game as well, although it went much closer than they would have expected. Batting first yet again, Australia Remain scored 185 for 5 in 20 overs. Beth Mooney yet again played a valuable knock of 44 of just 31 balls. Captain Tehila McGrath batting at number 6 top scored with 48 not out of 35 balls with 8 fours.

Defending a big total, Australia Women, although did not take a lot of wickets, always kept England under the asking rate. That's what eventually helped them as the game was interrupted multiple times due to rain and was in the end decided using the DLS par score. Tahila McGrath was adjudged the man of the match.

For Australia Women in batting, Beth Mooney is averaging 32.44, scoring 292 runs in the last 10 matches, followed by Ellyse Perry, who has 219 runs in the last 10 matches. In bowling, Annabelle Sutherland has 15 wickets in the last 10 games at a superb economy of 5.65. Megan Schutt has been economical as well, with 12 wickets in the last 10 matches. Australia Women would be eager the end the T20I series 3-0 as well.

Key players:Beth Mooney, Tahlia McGrath, Ellyse Perry, Annabel Sutherland

England Women Preview

England might feel hard done by after the loss in the second T20I against Australia. The rain had final say in that game, as England fell short by 6 runs. This was their second consecutive loss in the three-match series. With the ODI series already with Australia Women, the England Women's team has effectively lost the ashes even before the third leg of the tour.

England Women are ranked second in ICC Women's T20 International Rankings behind Australia Women. After the comprehensive defeat in the first T20I of the series where Australia Women defeated England Women by 57 runs defending a big total of 199, England Women lost the second match, and with it, lost the T20I series and Women's Ashes to Australia Women.

In the second T20 in Canberra, England Women showed a much better performance against Australia Women. Bowling first, they had Australia 4 down for 75 runs in the 10th over. However, they could not stop the middle and lower middle order to score 90 runs in next 10 overs for the loss of just one wicket. Charlie Dean was the peak of the bowlers, taking 2 wickets for 28 runs in 4 overs.

England Women started the chase in a strong manner scoring 46 in the power play losing one wicket. They were 99 for 3 in the 13th over which was slightly below the asking rate. After that Nat Sciver-Brunt and Heather Knight took charge and helped England get to a score where they were ahead of the par score on DLS when the first rain interruption happened. However, the rain relented just so that Australia Women could get back in the game before the second interruption when England were behind on DLS par score. It was a heartbreak for captain Heather Knight and England Women. They need to put this behind, and get at least a win under the belt before the Test match.

Key players: Nat Sciver-Brunt, Heather Knight, Sophie Ecclestone, Danielle Wyatt-Hodge
