Ashleigh Gardner all-round show helps Australia thrash England in ODI series opener

India Today  

Australia surged to an emphatic four-wicket victory against England in the opening ODI of the 2025 Women’s Ashes at North Sydney Oval, thanks to a game-defining performance by Ashleigh Gardner. The dynamic all-rounder claimed three vital wickets and capped off her day with an unbeaten 42, ensuring Australia chased down England’s 204-run target comfortably. Early breakthroughs from Kim Garth set the tone for Australia's bowlers, while Gardner's introduction into the attack disrupted England’s middle order. Both Knight and Nat Sciver-Brunt fell to Gardner’s spin after misjudged strokes, and England’s inability to capitalize on starts saw them bowled out with seven overs left unused.
