The Australian women’s cricket team have been flying under the radar a fair bit given the Cricket World Cup’s been going on, but they’ve been absolutely killing it in England.
Three wins in the ODI matches – two of them incredibly convincing – have the Southern Stars in the box seat to retain the Ashes.
After a thrilling two-wicket win in the first ODI, the Aussies were simply two good in the next two matches, winning by four wickets and 194 runs.
In fact, they only need a draw in the Test match – which starts tonight – to keep the urn on home soil.
So, how can our girls keep their foot on the pedal and secure a rousing victory over the old enemy?
There’s nobody better to talk women’s cricket on The Roar than cricket expert Mary Konstantopoulos, so we got her on the Game of Codes podcast to preview the big Test and analyse the Southern Stars’ chances.
Listen to the discussion:
We touched on some more women’s cricket topics too, including asking the big question; why don’t women’s teams play more Tests? What’s holding the women’s format back in the red-ball format.
