Alana King's stellar four-wicket performance led Australia to a 21-run victory over England in the second ODI of the 2025 Women's Ashes. Despite a shaky start, Australia's bowling attack, particularly King and Ash Gardner's spin, stifled England's batting efforts, resulting in a series of misjudgments and crucial wickets. England's captain, despite praising Amy Jones's effort, pointed to the late-inning tactical errors that ultimately sealed their fate.

Alana King takes four wickets as Australia beat England by 21 runs in the second ODI of the 2025 Women’s Ashes at Junction Oval in Melbourne.Alana King takes four wickets as Australia beat England by 21 runs in the second ODI of the 2025 Women’s Ashes at Junction Oval in Melbourne. England had the hosts on the ropes on a rare bad day until Australian leg-spinner Alana King helped turn the second ODI in Melbournesay that.

Then it was time for spin to shut the innings down. Alana King’s four wickets included one in her first over and two in her last, at that stage on a hat-trick as England went eight down. But it was her work in between that was equally important, giving up 25 runs from her 10 overs, partnered perfectly as Ash Gardner’s 10 overs of finger spin turned the other way and returned 1 for 23.

But it was more than just a matter of good bowling, it was about what good bowling produced. After the middle-order big names had gone, a sequence topped by King’s pearler of a leg-break that bowled Danni Wyatt-Hodge first ball, the ineptness of the late-innings effort added an extra layer of highlighter to the gap between the teams. Australia kept swarming as England fell apart.
