Australia Women (AUS-W) and England Women (ENG-W) are all set to continue their ongoing series by facing off in the only Test at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground from Thursday, January 30.

Australia have managed to dominate England throughout the series and will hope for a similar outcome in the one-off Test as well. The multi-format series began with a three-game ODI affair where the hosts won every single game, dismantling the tourists with ease. After the 50-over  format, the two sides locked horns in a three-game T20I series and Australia continued their fine form in the shortest format, registerings wins in all three T20Is

Both the sides will now shift their focus onto the only Test of the tour. While the Aussies will aim to achieve a clean sweep, the Heather Knight-led side will look to finish the historic series with a win. The last time these two sides faced each other was back in 2023 in Nottingham, when Australia won by 89 runs.

Pitch Report

The batters will get value for their shots while the spinners won't have too much of a part to play. In the past, the MCG was known for producing some flat surfaces where plenty of runs were scored. The fast bowlers will get a hint of seam movement.
