Australia Women will lock horns with England Women in the first T20I of the three-match series at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney on Monday, January 20.
Interestingly, Australia has already bagged a 6-0 lead in the ongoing Ashes after sweeping England in the three-match ODI series. England needs to win the three-match T20I series by 3-0 and secure victory in the day-night Test to claim the Ashes. However, Australia need to win just two points to retain the Ashes.
