AU-W vs EN-W, 1st Test Preview

Australia Women

Australia Women enter the Ashes Test brimming with confidence, having already secured victories in both the ODI and T20I series. Led by Alyssa Healy, the team boasts a formidable blend of experienced campaigners and rising stars. The all-around prowess of Ellyse Perry, Tahlia McGrath, and Ashleigh Gardner, combined with the batting consistency of Beth Mooney and Phoebe Litchfield, makes them a dominant force. 

Their bowling attack, spearheaded by Megan Schutt and Darcie Brown, might also prove to be lethal. With an unblemished record so far, Australia will be eager to complete a clean sweep in the multi-format series.

England Women

England Women will be desperate to salvage pride as they head into the only Test of the Ashes series. Despite falling short in the limited-overs matches, they possess the talent to challenge Australia in red-ball cricket. Skipper Heather Knight, alongside experienced names like Tammy Beaumont and Nat Sciver-Brunt, will be key in their batting lineup. 

The spin duo of Sophie Ecclestone and Charlie Dean could play a crucial role in countering Australia’s aggressive approach. With a resilient mindset and the hunger to turn things around, England will aim to prevent a series whitewash and make a strong statement in the Test format.

However, batters can capitalize on the track’s pace, making batting rewarding once they settle in. Spinners generally have limited impact at this venue, as the surface does not provide significant turn.
