Twitter reactions: Clinical Australia thrash England in the Pink-Ball Test to register a 16-0 whitewash at Women’s Ashes 2025

Australia dominated England in the final match of the Women’s Ashes series 2025, sealing a 16-0 victory with a resounding win by innings and 122 runs in the only Test. The win came after Australia’s overwhelming performances in the ODI and T20I series, both of which ended 3-0 in favor of the hosts. This remarkable achievement marks the first time since the inception of multi-format Women’s Ashes series in 2013 that a team has won all three formats in a clean sweep. Australia’s historic whitewash confirms their dominance across all formats, with a perfect 16 points from the series.

Australia’s monumental total on Day 3

The third day of the Test saw Australia adding further to their colossal total, eventually posting a score of 440 all out. The star of the day was Beth Mooney, whose 106 runs guided Australia’s charge towards a commanding lead. Mooney’s knock included 7 boundaries and was a crucial part of the team’s strong performance. On Day 2, Annabel Sutherland had laid the foundation with a brilliant 163, the highest individual score of the match. With 13 fours and 1 six, Sutherland not only led her side with grace but also became the first woman to score a century at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, further cementing her place in history.

While England’s bowlers fought hard, they struggled to contain the Australian batters. Lauren Bell and Lauren Filer both managed to take two wickets, but their efforts were overshadowed by the brilliance of Australia’s top-order batters. The highlight of England’s bowling attack came from Sophie Ecclestone, who claimed 5 wickets in a valiant performance, though it wasn’t enough to halt Australia’s march towards a massive total. Ryana McDonald-Gay also contributed with 1 wicket, but the English bowlers were unable to break Australia’s formidable partnership between Sutherland and Mooney.

Australia’s perfect 16-0 whitewash: A historic achievement

England’s batting line-up crumbled under the pressure. The visitors were all out for just 148 runs in their second innings, giving Australia a dominant victory by an innings and 122 runs. Opener Tammy Beaumont was the highest scorer for England, managing 47 runs, including 5 boundaries. However, her efforts were not enough to save England from a humiliating defeat, as the rest of the batting line-up faltered under the weight of Australia’s relentless bowling.

Australia’s bowlers were simply too strong for England in the second innings. Darcie Brown‘s right-arm medium-fast bowling saw her claim a crucial wicket, while Ashleigh Gardner, with her off-spin, tore through England’s middle-order, finishing with 4 wickets. However, it was Alana King, Australia’s leg-spinner, who was the standout player of the match. King took 5 wickets in the second inning.

Annabel Sutherland and Alana King shine in historic victory

Sutherland was named Player of the Match for her brilliant 163 runs, a knock that effectively set the foundation for Australia’s overwhelming win. Her achievement also saw her become the first woman to score a century at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground. King’s match-winning 9 wickets across both innings, bringing her tally to an impressive 23 wickets across the series, made her a deserving Player of the Series. Australia’s historic whitewash further solidifies their status as the dominant force in women’s international cricket.
