Women’s Ashes 2024/25, Third ODI Match Report of AUS-W vs ENG-W, January 17, 2025


Australia chose to bat vs England

Australia have made a double-spin attack for the third ODI in Hobart with Georgia Wareham withdrawn in place of Darcie Brown on what was a drier than expected pitch.

Wareham is playing only his second ODI since last March and was not required to bat or bowl in his previous outing against India in December. Her return also lengthens Australia’s batting with colleague Alana King now pushed to No. 9. England struggled significantly against King in Melbourne as she returned 4 for 25 in a match-winning performance.

England have been left with an unchanged XI, meaning they will have fielded the same team for the entire one-day series. There was some hope that Kate Cross would be fit for this game after back problems, but she didn’t make the cut.

The visitors desperately need two points from this game to enter the T20I leg of the multi-format series at 4-2. If Australia are 6-0 up, they will need just two more points to retain the Ashes.

Australia: 1 Alyssa Healy (captain and week), 2 Phoebe Litchfield, 3 Ellyse Perry, 4 Beth Mooney, 5 Annabel Sutherland, 6 Ashleigh Gardner, 7 Tahlia McGrath, 8 Georgia Wareham, 9 Alana King, 10 Kim Garth, 11 Megan Schutt

England: 1 Tammy Beaumont, 2 Maia Bouchier, 3 Heather Knight (captain), 4 Nat Sciver-Brunt, 5 Danni Wyatt-Hodge, 6 Amy Jones (week), 7 Alice Capsey, 8 Charlie Dean, 9 Sophie Ecclestone, 10 Lauren Filer , 11 Lauren Bell
