Women’s Ashes 2023: ENG-W vs AUS-W Match Prediction – Who will win today’s 1st ODI match?

England’s comprehensive victory in the final T20I of the Women’s Ashes 2023 at the iconic Lord’s saw them clinch the three-match series against arch-rivals Australia. However, the action now moves to the 50-over format, with the home side needing to clean-sweep the Aussies in the three-match series to reclaim the Ashes.

While the onus is on Heather Knight’s side heading into the ODI series, Australia will be looking to bounce back after their rare series defeat. It was their first series loss in nearly five years, with their last defeat also coming against the same opposition in the 2017-18 Ashes. The action resumes between the fierce rivals in Briston on July 12.

ENG-W vs AUS-W Probable Best Performers

Probable Best Batter

Tammy Beaumont:

Although the senior batter wasn’t part of England’s triumphant T20I squad, Tammy Beaumont will look to continue her red-hot form in the 50-over format. Beaumont, who sent the record books tumbling with her historic double century in the one-off Ashes Test last month, is headed into the ODI series opener on the back of a swashbuckling innings for The Blaze.

Probable Best Bowler

Lauren Filer:

England’s young fast-bowling sensation Lauren Filer is all set to make her ODI debut in the series opener in Bristol. The 22-year-old speedster displayed glimpses of her undoubted ability in the Ashes Test last month, and her partnership with Issy Wong with the new ball will hold the key for the home side in the upcoming series.
