The much-anticipated 2025 Women’s Ashes series is all set to take place from January 12 as England women travel to hosts Australia to reclaim their elite trophy. The forthcoming multi-format series promises to deliver exhilarating cricket, with two sides eager to prove their mettle after a closely contested previous edition. The series is expected to be highly competitive with two strong sides in impressive form as they head into the opening ODI at North Sydney Oval.
The forthcoming Women’s Ashes is not just a contest; it is a storied rivalry that has captivated the cricketing fraternity for decades. Notably, Aussie women currently hold the Ashes, having maintained their dominance since 2014, but England women are determined to break their winning streak and grab their title for the first time in over a decade.
The two powerhouses head into this series with something to prove. Aussies, despite their historical success, felt a sense of disappointment after their performance in the last Ashes series in England, where they escaped a narrow defeat. The side aims to assert its dominance once again. On the other hand, Heather Knight and her women aim to build on their recent success in the white-ball formats and end their long wait for an Ashes win.
Since the Australian tour to England back in 2013, the Ashes rivalry has been decided on a points system, which takes into account ODIs, T20Is, and Test matches. A Test win earns four points while draws give two points to each. In addition, limited-over games are awarded two points for the win, and this ensures every format contributes to the final outcome.
