England and Australia will square off against each other in the second T20I of the three-match series at Kennington Oval on Wednesday (July 5). It is worth mentioning that Australia won the opening fixture of the Women’s Ashes 2023 T20I leg by four wickets and are currently leading the series (1-0).

Beth Mooney shined for the Aussie side in their victory over England in the first match. Mooney played an unbeaten knock of 61 runs to sail her team through in a last-over thriller. Among bowlers, Jess Jonassen bagged three wickets for Women in Yellow in the first innings. On the other hand, Sophia Dunkley top-scored for the English team with a well-made 56 runs off 49 balls. However, Dunkley’s knock went in vain as English bowlers failed to defend the target.

Australia will look to seal the series by registering a win against England on Wednesday. Meanwhile, England will aim to bounce back and try their best not to let the visitors take away the series.
