Women's Ashes 2025 live stream: How to watch cricket online from anywhere for FREE

The Women’s Ashes sees two of the best teams in cricket go head-to-head. The multi-format battle is being held in Australia this year and should provide us with some explosive action.

The series features three T20s, three ODIs and a standalone test. The Aussies have dominated the Women’s Ashes in recent years. England have not won since the 2013-14 meeting. However, they did put some strong performances at home in 2023, particularly in the shorter formats and play an aggressive style under coach Jon Lewis. It all gives them hope heading into this latest battle.

In Heather Brooke, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Danni Wyatt-Hodge and Sophie Ecclestone, the visitors boast plenty of talent and experience. There is no doubt though that the home side are the favorites. Beth Mooney was one of the top scorers in 2024 and they are led by the always-impressive Alyssa Healy. Those in baggy green will not want to let the home fans down.
