Australia Women vs England Women, 2nd ODI: Match Prediction – Who will win today's match between AUS-W vs ENG-W?
MATCH: Australia Women vs England Women
DATE: January 14, Tuesday
TIME: 4:35 AM IST
VENUE: Junction Oval, Melbourne
TOURNAMENT: 2nd ODI 2025
Australia Women (AUS-W) will cross swords against England Women (ENG-W) in the second ODI of the Women’s Ashes on Tuesday, January 14. The high-octane clash will be held at the Junction Oval in Melbourne, as the Aussies will look to continue their winning momentum.
Speaking of the hosts, Australia, the Alyssa Healy-led side, won the series opener rather convincingly as they were able to chase down the 205-run target set by England with more than 11 overs to spare. The win came after all-round contribution by star cricketer Ashleigh Gardner. Notably, Gardner took three wickets in the first innings, and also grabbed a couple of catches before scoring an unbeaten 42 off 44 balls during the chase.
The English women, on the other hand, were sloppy with the bat, as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals, and a low total meant the bowlers had very little to play during their defence in the opening ODI on Sunday.
Pitch Report and Conditions
The surface at the Junction Oval, in Melbourne, has been an unassailed fort for the Aussies. In the nine games that they’ve played at this venue, they have been unbeaten. Out of the nine matches played here, Australia have won eight, and a solitary game during their most recent series against West Indies ended without a result. As a result, England may find it hard to defeat when they lock horns on Tuesday.
AUS-W vs ENG-W: Probable Playing XI
Australia Women
Alyssa Healy(c & wk), Phoebe Litchfield, Ellyse Perry, Beth Mooney, Annabel Sutherland, Ashleigh Gardner, Tahlia McGrath, Alana King, Kim Garth, Megan Schutt, Darcie Brown
England Women
Tammy Beaumont, Maia Bouchier, Heather Knight(c), Nat Sciver-Brunt, Danielle Wyatt-Hodge, Amy Jones(w), Alice Capsey, Charlotte Dean, Sophie Ecclestone, Lauren Filer, Lauren Bell
AUS-W vs ENG-W Probable Top Performers of the Match
Probable Best Batter: Alyssa Healy
Australia Women skipper Alyssa Healy returned from an injury after a successful recovery, and impressed in just the first One-Dayer she played. Her 70-run knock in the first match set the tone for the Aussies during the chase, and she is expected to continue her run of form and come good with the bat in the upcoming encounter as well.
Probable Best Bowler: Kim Garth
Pacer Kim Garth has been one of the most consistent performers for Australia in the recent past. Holding one end tightly with economical spells, she is very miser when it comes to conceding runs, which ultimately creates pressure, rewarding her side with crucial breakthroughs. Garth can be expected to deliver another fantastic spell with the ball in the next match.
