Women's Ashes 2023: ENG-W vs AUS-W Match Prediction - Who will win today's 1st ODI match?

England's Women (ENG-W) comprehensive victory in the final T20I of the Women's Ashes 2023 at the iconic Lord's saw them clinch the three-match series against arch-rivals Australia Women (AUS-W). However, the action now moves to the 50-over format, with the home side needing to clean-sweep the Aussies in the three-match series to reclaim the Ashes.

While the onus is on Heather Knight's side heading into the ODI series, Australia will be looking to bounce back after their rare series defeat. It was their first series loss in nearly five years, with their last defeat also coming against the same opposition in the 2017-18 Ashes. The action resumes between the fierce rivals in Briston on July 12.
