Australia suffered a severe setback when England defeated them in the Women's Ashes, delivering them their first bilateral ODI series loss in 10 years.

England won convincingly at Taunton by a score of 69 runs, tying the points-based, multi-format Ashes series at 8-8. Australia remained the current champions and kept the Ashes despite the draw.

Australia's chase of England's score of 285-9 was halted by rain, and the visitors were given a new goal of 269 runs in 44 overs. With her second straight century, Nat Sciver-Brunt significantly contributed to England's dominating score. As England's bowlers chipped away with consistent wickets, Australia failed to form partnerships and fell from 190-6 to a meagre 199 all out. With scores of 3-48, Kate Cross led the bowling assault. She was backed up by spinner Charlie Dean and seamer Lauren Bell, who each claimed two wickets.

The conclusion of the series highlighted how fiercely competitive the two sides were by making it the most closely contested Women's Ashes since 2017. Australia's Test victory in June gave them the Ashes, despite the fact that England had won the series' more games. Nevertheless, Sciver-Brunt's century in a successful cause demonstrated her extraordinary skill and cemented her place among the top players in the world. She is a crucial asset in England's middle order because of her perseverance and capacity to execute under duress.

The triumph for England not only dealt Australia its first ODI series loss in ten years but also demonstrated the team's fortitude and tenacity in the face of the best opposition. Fans are anxiously expecting these two teams' next matches as a result of the Women's Ashes, which served as a testament to the intense rivalry between these two cricketing behemoths.
