Heather Knight, the captain, took the initiative, scored 75* (86) in 48.1 overs, and assisted her team in reaching the objective. Australia is one victory away from keeping the Ashes, which they previously won in 2022, while England must win both of the remaining games to do so. Both teams will be keen to give their all on the field in the second ODI since the prized urn is on the line.

Rose Bowl Pitch report
The location has hosted a total of two WODIs, with teams chasing wins in both matches. At this location, the highest target chased was 193 by England vs. India in 2006. The average first-inning total while batting first is 161. However, since a women’s game will be played there after 17 years, both teams won’t be aware of the circumstances. As a result, the captain who wins the toss will attempt to bowl first.

AUS-W versus ENG-W Potential Best Performers
Nat Sciver Brunt, possibly the best pitcher,
Although she scored a respectable 31 (41) in the first ODI, the 30-year-old veteran was unable to lead her team to victory. Sciver Brunt will be eager to hit a high total in the second ODI and move her team closer to victory after struggling to make an impact with the bat in the first two games of the series.
Ashleigh Gardner, perhaps the best bowler
The all-rounder has taken the most wickets thus far on the trip, with 17 at an average of 17.29. She pulled up 3/42 in ten overs, making her the best bowler for Australia in the opening ODI. Gardner will again put her best performance forward when the series is on the line and bowl her team to victory.
