Women's Ashes 2024–25

Tournament Overview

Series Overview

The 2024–25 Women's Ashes produced a result of historic proportions: Australia winning 16-0 across the multi-format series — three ODIs, three T20Is, and a one-off Test match — to achieve the first-ever Women's Ashes whitewash. England, who had not won the Women's Ashes since 2014, were comprehensively outplayed at every stage of the competition. The pinnacle of Australia's dominance came in the one-off Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground — the first women's Test at the MCG since 1949 — where England were beaten by an innings and 122 runs. Australia's batting depth, bowling variety, and fielding intensity were of a different standard to England's across the entire series. Alana King, Australia's leg-spinning all-rounder, was the standout performer of the tour and was named Player of the Series for her match-winning wicket-taking contributions. For England Women, the 16-0 defeat prompted serious reflection on the structures supporting their women's cricket pipeline and the standard of domestic competition needed to compete with Australia at the highest level. For Australian women's cricket — already the world's dominant force — the 2024-25 Ashes whitewash represented another landmark achievement.
