England Women vs Australia Women, 2nd ODI: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, and Live Streaming Details
England Women and Australia Women are set to face each other in the first game of a three-match ODI series on Sunday, July 16. The Rose Bowl in Southampton will host the contest.
Australia, led by Alyssa Healy, are in a spot of bother. The Ashes is on the line as the Aussies are on the brink of losing the three-match ODI series after going down 1-2.
Having lost three matches on the trot, Healy’s women are not in the best of mindsets by any stretch of the imagination. They have gone into a mini-slump after losing literally nothing since 2017.
The visitors tried their hearts out in the first ODI at the County Ground in Bristol on Wednesday but ended up losing by two wickets. Beth Mooney scored an unbeaten 81 in a losing effort.
After putting up 263 for the loss of eight wickets, Australia failed to defend the score. Ashleigh Gardner and Georgia Wareham picked up five wickets, but their efforts went in vain as England romped home with 11 balls to spare.
