Australia Women vs England Women Ball by Ball Commentary - WA 3 ODIs 2025

42.2OUT! STUMPED! That's it, a five-star showing from Alana King and Australia Women and they have routed the ODI leg of this Women's Ashes 3-0. Lovely bit of drift from King, bowled into the pads, this one dips and turns away. Charlie Dean is drawn forward and looks to heave across the line but is beaten by the turn and bounce. Alyssa Healy with a good take behind the stumps and the bails are whipped off in a flash. The replays confirm the same and England Women are bundled out for 222 as King picks up a five-wicket haul. Australia Women win by 86 runs and take a 6-0 lead in the points tally with 10 more points to play for.

42.1On the shorter side, turning away from middle, Bell guides it off the face of the blade and past short third for a single.

41.1Full and straight, Charlie Dean steps out, converts it into a full toss and heaves it wide of long on for a single.

40.6OUT! CAUGHT! Alana King is spinning her web and now has 4 wickets to her name! Flights it up, on off and tempts the batter in flight. Lauren Filer plants her front leg out and looks for a big hit down the ground and gets a top edge that lobs to point. Kim Garth settles under and takes a simple catch. Australia Women need just one more wicket to win.

40.5Quick, full and outside off, left alone by Filer.

40.4No run. Darted in full, outside off, Lauren Filer has a feel for it and misses.

40.3OUT! CAUGHT! Ash Gardner has pulled off an absolute stunner at the ropes, adding yet another highlight to an already dominant Australian performance in the field. One sensational grab after another! Absolutely ridiculous stuff from Ash Gardner! King loops it full, on middle and off, Sophie Ecclestone slogs it well and hits it to deep mid-wicket. Ash Gardner stays very close to the rope, sticks her right hand out and grabs it. Just as she starts to lose her balance behind, she pops the ball back in play, gets out and dives back in to take it brilliantly.

40.2Looped full, on off and turning away, Sophie Ecclestone has a poke at it but gets beaten.

40.1Full, on leg, Charlie Dean dances down the track and tucks it to eep square leg for a single.

38.5On the shorter side around off, Sophie Ecclestone plays it with the turn and through covers for one.

Floated up a bit too full by Alana King and on the pads, Amy Jones gets inside the line to sweep but gets a top edge that lobs away in front of short fine leg.

37.2OUT! LBW! More than half an appeal for LBW and the finger is raised. Alice Capsey has reviewed it quite quickly though. Megan Schutt goes a bit wider on the crease and uses that angle to slant the ball back in a long way. It is just a touch full around off and angles in towards the leg pole. Capsey rocks back to pull but it isn't short enough and she misses, getting hit on the pads. The replays roll in and there's no bat involved but Ball Tracking does show three reds and Capsey walks back for a duck. Australia Women back on top of proceedings now.

36.6On a good length and outside off, patted away down to covers by Capsey.

36.5OUT! CAUGHT! That is a spectacular catch from Phoebe Litchfield and Australia Women get another timely wicket. Tossed up, on a length and outside off, Danni Wyatt-Hodge looks to loft it over covers with the spin but the ball isn't full enough. The ball takes the higher part of the bat and goes over covers but Litchfield  takes a few steps back over her head and then puts in a full-body dive to stretch both hands and takes it brilliantly. That definitely seemed out of reach all the way but she's pulled it off. Danni Wyatt-Hodge departs for 35(32) and England Women are 200 for 5 now.

34.1FOUR! A plethora of boundaries here for England Women. King starts the new spell with a full ball around off, Amy Jones strokes it away through extra cover and the ball races away to the fence.

33.6FOUR! Danni Wyatt-Hodge shifting gears quickly now. Dropped short yet again and on the pads, Wyatt-Hodge hops back and pulls it firmly and just behind square leg for another boundary.
