Australia secured a commanding 72-run victory in the final Women's Ashes T20, extending their dominance to 6-0 in the series. England put on a dismal batting display, collapsing to 90 all out, their worst T20 performance in recent memory. Australia's superior fielding and batting, highlighted by Beth Mooney's blistering 94 not out, further exposed England's shortcomings.

Australia are six from six in the Women’s Ashes after England put on an embarrassing display with the bat, collapsing to 90 all out in 17.3 overs – one of their worst performances in a T20 – to hand Australia a 72-run victory in the series’ final T20 .
An emotional Knight admitted she was fighting back the tears following her side’s latest defeat which leaves Australia on course for an unprecedented 16-0 Ashes clean sweep. Asked how she was feeling after her side’s latest setback, Knight told BBC Radio Five Live Sports Extra: “I am trying not to cry, you always try to do that. I am gutted. It has been a disappointing tour. I am frustrated and it was not a great performance.
Another illustration of the difference between England and Australia was the performance of Beth Mooney. Twice in a row in the 20th over of Australia’s innings, Mooney stole a second run from under England’s noses, pulling out a full-stretch dive to beat Smith’s throw in from deep midwicket, before using sheer speed to outpace long-on, making her ground just before Amy Jones could whip off the bails.
