Taunton, July 19 (Ians) Despite Australia retaining the Women’s Ashes, England captain Heather Knight hailed her side’s T20 and Odi series victories as “really special”.
A thrilling women’s Ashes series came to a close at Taunton with England defeating Australia by 69 runs via Dls method in the third Odi on Tuesday night.
The victory allowed England to clinch the Odi series 2-1, but Australia still retained the Women’s Ashes as the multi-format series ended tied at 8-8 following the seven matches, due to the Alyssa Healy-led side being previous holders of the trophy. But more importantly, England handed Australia their first Odi series defeat in a decade.
“I’m hugely pleased, it’s a draw isn’t it. And we’ve got two trophies against the world champions, which is really special. I think the fact that we’d gone so close and gone toe-to-toe with Australia,...

Dubai, July 18 (Ians) Australia batter Beth Mooney piped Sri Lankan Chamari Athapaththu to regain the top spot in the women’s Odi players ranking released on Tuesday.
Athapaththu’s reign at the top of the Odi batters rankings lasted just two weeks as she slipped to third with 758 rating points and Mooney climbed to top with 769 ratings.
Mooney was among the runs in the first two ODIs against England with scores of 81 not out and 33 as Australia regained the Ashes with a win in the second match of the series.
Following the Australian closely is England’s Nat Sciver-Brunt, who almost stole victory from the hands of Australia in the second Odi with a stunning 111 not out off 99 balls. Despite her knock going in vain, Sciver-Brunt moved up two spots to No.2 and a career-best rating of 763.

New Delhi, Jan 26 (Ians) England all-rounder Nat Sciver’s consistency across all three formats has seen her win the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Award for Icc Women’s Cricketer of the Year 2022. She becomes the third England player to win the honour after Charlotte Edwards (2008) and Claire Taylor (2009).
The three other nominees for the award were India’s left-handed opener Smriti Mandhana, who had won the award in 2021 and 2018, apart from New Zealand’s leg-spin all-rounder Amelia Kerr and Australia’s left-handed opener Beth Mooney.
In total, Nat, the seam-bowling all-rounder, hit 1346 runs and took 22 wickets in 33 matches across all formats in the year, captaining England for much of her side’s home summer as captain Heather Knight was out due to a hip injury which needed surgery. Earlier, in the day, she had won Icc Women’s Odi Player of the Year award for 2022.
“I’ve been really happy with my form this year.
