Australia win second ODI in Women’s Ashes

Australia beat England to win the second ODI in the Women’s Ashes.

The hosts now boast a four-point lead in the competition following the dominant display at Coffs Harbour.

Skipper Rachael Haynes, dropped on 60, hit a career-best 89 in 56 balls as the hosts added 94 in the last 10 overs in their 296-6, having been asked to bat.

England were then handed a revised target of 285 in 46 overs after rain.

But they were bowled out for 209, losing by 75 runs on the DLS method, as Katherine Brunt made a maiden fifty.

The final ODI takes place at the same venue on Sunday, 29 October, before a trip to Sydney for a one-off Test, followed by the conclusion of the series with three Twenty20s.
