Australia Women vs England Women Only Test: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Weather Forecast, Pitch Report and Live Streaming Details
The only Test of the Ashes series between Australia Women and England Women will kick off on January 27 at Manuka Oval in Canberra. With a total of four points up for grabs, both sides will come out hard in the Test match.
The Australia Women currently lead the England Women by a 4-2 margin on points in this series. After Australia earned a comprehensive win in the first T20I, the next two games were abandoned due to rain, with the two teams sharing one point each. The Southern Stars will look to extend their lead in the multi-format series.
Meg Lanning will continue to lead the Australia Women. They recently suffered a blow, with quick Tayla Vlaeminck being ruled out of the series. 19-year-old pacer Stella Campbell has been named as her replacement. The Australian Women have had the wood over the England Women in the longest format in recent times and will look to continue their dominance in whites.
England Women, meanwhile, have to be at their absolute best to register their first win of the tour. After the last two T20I games got washed out, they will be hoping for a change in fortunes with the change in format. Heather Knight will be eager to lead the side by example in the only Test.
