**Adelaide, Australia** – Australia completed a dominant whitewash of England in the Ashes T20I series, crushing their opponents by 72 runs in the final match at Adelaide Oval. Beth Mooney’s unbeaten 94 overshadowed England’s entire team score, as Australia posted a formidable 5-162.
England’s batting line-up crumbled under the pressure of a clinical Australian bowling and fielding display, bowled out for a paltry 90 runs in just 17.3 overs. Georgia Wareham (3-11) and Darcie Brown (2-25) spearheaded the attack, dismantling England’s batting order. Darcie Brown made an immediate impact, dismissing Sophia Dunkley with her very first ball. Other notable contributions included a diving catch by Megan Schutt and a brilliant run-out by Ellyse Perry. Only Heather Knight offered any resistance with a 40-run knock.
Mooney’s impressive innings, featuring 10 boundaries, continued her outstanding form throughout the series. Despite a slow start, she accelerated in the later stages, narrowly missing out on a century.
The victory extends Australia’s unbeaten run in the multi-format Ashes series to 12-0, setting the stage for a potential 16-0 whitewash ahead of the day-night Test match starting Thursday at the MCG in Melbourne. The impressive margin of victory underscored the significant gap in performance between the two teams.
