Jam packed 2023 awaits those in green and gold
AFTER a year full of highs and a lot of wins, 2023 is shaping up to be just as jam packed for the Australian Women’s Cricket team.
In anticipation of the year ahead, let us take a look at all that is in store for the Aussie girls this calendar year.
Pakistan are coming to town in January
First up for the Aussies is a six match series against Pakistan across January.
The series begins with three ODIs on the 16th, 18th and 21st, followed by three T20s on the 24th, 26th and 29th.
The Aussies have already named their squad for the One Day portion of the series, and will see legendary skipper Meg Lanning return from her recent break from the game.
T20 World Cup in Feb
Next up after the Pakistan series, it’s off to South Africa to defend the T20 World Cup. Australia and nine other countries (Bangladesh, England, India, Ireland, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka and the West Indies) are set to do battle in South Africa between February 11 and 27.
The Senior World Cup is set to take place after the inaugural women’s Under 19 T20 World Cup, where Australia and 15 other countries are set to battle it out for the very first title. The Under 19 World Cup is set to get underway on January 14, with the Champion crowned on the 29th January.
Ashes in England
After the World Cup, it’s a trip to the mother country in June with the Aussies set to battle England in another Ashes series.
Now unlike the men’s series, the Women’s Ashes is a little bit different. It is a multi format series, with points awarded for wins across each portion of the series, with the type of game determining how many points the winner gets.
The series begins with the sole test match of the series on June 22.
A One Day series in Ireland
After the Ashes, it is a hop across the Irish sea to the Emerald Isle, with the Aussie girls set to battle the Irish in a three match One Day series.
Now very few details have been announced for this series, so stay tuned for further details such as dates and venues.
The West Indies are also coming to town this year
Heading into the Aussie summer, and it is the West Indies who are coming to town, set to tour the country in September.
Now again no dates or venues have been revealed for this series either, so keep your eyes and ears peeled for all the details.
Multi format series in India to round out the year
Much like 2022, the Aussies are set to round out 2023 with a multi format series in India.
Now again no dates or venues have been revealed for this series either, so keep your eyes and ears peeled for all the details.
Aussies clean sweep tour with another big win
AUSTRALIA’s undefeated run has continued, this time defeating Bangladesh by 77 runs in the third T20 of their series to fully clean sweep their tour. The Australians batted first and made 6/155, before bowling their hosts out for just 78. Choosing to go back to a more traditional batting line up, the Australians made pretty […]
Experimental Aussies maintain winning momentum
AUSTRALIA remains undefeated in its tour of Bangladesh after another white ball victory, this time to the tune of 58 runs in the second T20. After the Australians opted to bat first and posted 8/161, Bangladesh could only muster 9/103. The tourists experimented with their batting order, including promoting Georgia Wareham to number three and […]
Australia changes format but not form in cruisy win
THERE may have been a change in format but there was no change to Australia’s dominance over Bangladesh, this time cruising to a 10 wicket win in the first T20 of the series between the sides. Bangladesh was restricted to 4/126 from its innings, before Australia only needed 13 overs to reach the tally. Losing […]
Aussies clean sweep series with strong but inaccurate bowling
AUSTRALIA has clean swept its ODI series with Bangladesh after defeating the hosts by eight wickets in the third ODI. Australia bowled Bangladesh out for 89, before reaching the target itself halfway through the 19th over. The fact that the hosts lost their first wicket two thirds of the way through the second over and […]
Sophie stars to help Aussies win big again
A bowling masterclass from Sophie Molineux has helped Australia cruise to a six-wicket win over Bangladesh in the second ODI of the series. After bowling Bangladesh out for just 97, the Australians did not even need half their allotted overs to get the job done. Bangladesh’s start was very slow, and when that first wicket […]
‘A’ names equals ‘A+’ performance as Australia wins big
SOME explosive batting from Alana King and some star bowling from the Australians has helped them start their series with Bangladesh with a big 118 run win. Australia posted 7/213 before bowling its hosts out for just 95. Although Australia’s total ended up being more than enough, things were not looking that certain early in […]
PREVIEW | Australia vs. Bangladesh
INTERNATIONAL cricket is back for Australia’s women, who embark on a multi-format white ball tour of Bangladesh, beginning with tomorrow’s ODI. For Australia, it is time for some fact finding before a return to the subcontinent later this year for the World Cup. There has also been very little history between Australia and Bangladesh, so […]
Carey, Cummins come up clutch in Christchurch
ALEX Carey and Pat Cummins have delivered Australia a Trans-Tasman series sweep, after guiding their side home by three wickets against New Zealand today. The pair put on a 61-run eight-wicket partnership to see the tourists successfully chase 279 on day four in Christchurch. Under-pressure gloveman, Carey finished unbeaten on 98 alongside his skipper, showcasing […]
Seamers sizzle as 14 wickets fall on day one
SEAMERS dominated on day one of the Trans-Tasman Test in Christchurch today, with Josh Hazlewood spearheading Australia into a strong position at stumps. The opening quick took 5-31 as New Zealand was sent in to bat and bowled out for 162 heading into tea. Australia did much of the damage after lunch, ripping through the […]
