Women's Ashes: Beth Mooney, Darcie Brown Star As Australia Beat England In 1st ODI To Retain Urn

Beth Mooney's 73-run knock was followed up by Darcie Brown's four-wicket haul to help Australia defeat England by 27 runs in the first ODI of the three-match series at the Manuka Oval in Canberra on Thursday. With this win, Australia have taken an 8-4 lead in the Women's Ashes and, as a result, have retained the urn. Chasing 206, England got off to a bad start as Tammy Beaumont (3) and Heather Knight (0) were sent back to the pavilion by Darcie Brown in the fourth over of the innings, reducing the visitors to 10/2. Nat Sciver then added 29 runs to the total along with Lauren Winfield Hill. However, this stand was broken in the 11th over by Megan Schutt as she got the better of Winfield Hill (13) and England was reduced to 39/3.
