Australia’s women win Ashes series with another T20 victory over England
Australia’s women had already retained the Ashes. Now they’ve won the series against England.
The Australians won the rain-affected second Twenty20 by six runs in Canberra on Thursday to extend their perfect start to the series and move into a 10-0 lead with just one more T20 and a test match remaining.
England was set 186 to win and reached 168-4 with five balls left when heavy rain fell, and no further play was possible. It was six runs short of the required score set by the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method.
Australia, who has won all three ODIs and the first two T20s, has held the Ashes since 2015, when it won the multi-format series on English soil.
