Australia won the toss and bowled first in the opening match of the Women’s Ashes, the first ODI at North Sydney Oval.
She, along with Lauren Bell and all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt, form the seam bowling team for this match, with Sophie Ecclestone and Charlie Dean leading the spin department to open play under bright sunshine and clear skies.
Meanwhile, Australia kept pace, again selecting Darcie Brown ahead of Georgia Wareham. As captain Alyssa Healy returned from a knee injury to bat and keep wicket, young opener Georgia Voll, as expected, remained on the bench.
