Who will win ENG Women vs AUS Women, Women’s T20 Ashes?
Australia Women will look to complete a dominate Women’s Ashes win when they face England in the final WT20I of the series at Bristol’s County Ground. The match is scheduled for July 31 and the live action begins at 18:30 local time.
After whitewashing England in the WODI series and drawing the test, Australia – the World WT20 champions – have continued their dominant form in the shortest format too. Meg Lanning has scored 176 unbeaten runs to lead them to two wins and the tourists will be confident of sealing another series whitewash.
England have just pride left to play for as they look to salvage something from a chastening home series. Sophie Ecclestone’s spin bowling has brought three wickets in the last two games, but the other bowlers have not taken enough wickets and the batting has fallen well short too.

ENG Women Team News & Playing 11
ENGW Team News
Georgia Elwiss replaced Anya Shrubsole last time out in the only change from the crushing defeat in the first match. Mady Villiers and Fran Wilson could also come into the team, with the former set for her debut, as England look to end their losing streak.
ENGW Key Players
Tammy Beaumont: While England did not score anywhere near enough runs last time out, Beaumont’s patient 43 – her highest score since hitting a century in the second WODI – at least marked her return to run-scoring form.
Sophie Ecclestone: Bowled 13 dot balls last time out on her way to figures of 1-18 from her four overs, adding to the two wickets she picked up amidst the Australian onslaught in the first game.
Nat Sciver: Runs, wickets and good fielding have marked all-rounder Sciver as one of the few England players to emerge from this series with any sort of form. England need her recapture her best touch now, however.
ENGW Team Form
Series wins against Sri Lanka and West Indies seem a long way away now after two crushing defeats in this series. Restricted to 133/9 in the first match – getting nowhere near Australia’s226/3 – they scored even less last time out. England posted 121/8 from their 20 overs and, though Sophie Ecclestone bowled tidily, Australia cruised to a seven-wicket win.

Ellyse Perry: After taking 2-11 in the first game, the superstar all-rounder followed it up with 1-17 from two overs and then an unbeaten 47 from 39 balls to lead Australia to yet another victory.
Alyssa Healy: A breezy 20 from 13 balls at the top of the order was a mark the wicket-keeper-batsman is back to her best form.
AUSW Team Form
Australia have been in dominant form in this whole Ashes series but particularly the WT20I portion of the tour. Meg Lanning’s new record 133* helped them to 226/3 in the first game and a 93-run win.
