Women’s Ashes 2023 on TV: how to watch third cricket IT20 - live stream details, tickets and score explained

England posted their highest T20 score against Australia as they won the second T20 fixture in the multi-format Ashes series. Danni Wyatt smashed 76 off 46 balls to help the hosts to a score of 186/9 which, thanks to the bowling of Sarah Glenn, Sophie Ecclestone, Lauren Bell, Charlie Dean and Danielle Gibson, they were able to defend.

Ellyse Perry hit an unbeaten half century but it was not enough to get Australia over the line and England won by three runs.

This is now England’s first win in the multi-format series and spin bowler Sarah Glenn said afterwards, “it’s been a long time coming. We’ve had a lot of really close calls and we’ve always known we can beat them, it’s just getting over the line against a top line-up who have had momentum for a long time.”

Australia’s stand-in captain Alyssa Healy said of her team’s performance: “it felt like we were slightly off, in every facet of the game. With the bat, we had a little bit of a handbrake on at times and couldn’t get ourselves going.”
