Melbourne Cricket Ground: It has been a summer of cricket to remember for Australia Women as they whitewashed their biggest rivals England Women 16-0 in the 2024-25 Ashes series. The hosts sealed the trophy with a massive victory by an innings & 122 runs at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Alana King was named player of the series having taken 23 wickets, nine in the Test match, at an average of 11.17 to equal Ash Garnder's record, when she picked 23 wickets in the 2023 Ashes series.

Australia won the toss and elected to bowl first at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), putting relentless pressure on the visitors.

Nat Sciver-Brunt top scored in the first innings with 51 runs in what was another faulty performance by England with the bat. Alana grabbed four wickets to her name and was accompanied by two wickets each for Kim Garth and Darcie Brown to bundle England out for 170.
