TEAMS PREVIEW
Australia Preview
Australia Women head into the pink-ball Ashes Test at the MCG riding high after a commanding 3-0 sweep of England in both ODIs and T20Is. Their squad is a balanced mix of experienced stars and in-form players. Alyssa Healy has been included in the 13-player lineup as a specialist batter, provided she recovers in time. If not, Tahlia McGrath is expected to continue leading the side.
All-rounder Ellyse Perry will be a key player for Australia, with a stellar batting average of 67.25 against England in Tests, which includes two centuries, three fifties, and a career-best 213*. On the bowling front, she has taken 36 wickets at 19.11 in 10 Tests against the same opponents.
Beth Mooney has also been in fantastic form, scoring 94*, 44, and 75 in the T20Is, as well as a fine 50 in the final ODI.
The batting order is packed with talent, including Phoebe Litchfield, Ashleigh Gardner, and Annabel Sutherland, making it a formidable lineup.
Australia’s bowling unit is equally strong, with Kim Garth and Alana King expected to be the main wicket-takers. Perry, Gardner, and Darcie Brown add variety to the attack. Together, this well-rounded team puts Australia in a commanding position against England.
Australia Predicted Playing XI:
Phoebe Litchfield, Beth Mooney, Ellyse Perry, Tahlia McGrath, Alyssa Healy (c & wk), Annabel Sutherland, Ashleigh Gardner, Kim Garth, Alana King, Georgia Wareham/Georgia Voll, Darcie Brown
Australia Actual Playing XI:

England Women Preview
England’s tour of Australia has been challenging, with losses in both the ODI and T20I series leaving their confidence shaken. The Test will demand a monumental effort from the struggling visitors to stay competitive.
Heather Knight’s leadership and batting will play a pivotal role. Knight has looked solid, scoring two composed 40s in the last two T20Is against Australia, and her impressive Test average of 51.30 against them makes her a key player.
Nat Sciver-Brunt’s recent performances with the bat could also swing the game in England’s favor. She was their leading scorer in the ODI series, collecting 115 runs at an average of 38.33. Amy Jones and Maia Bouchier, who scored a century on her Test debut against South Africa, add further strength to the lineup.
On the bowling front, Lauren Bell and Lauren Filer are in form, having taken 11 wickets between them in the recent Test victory over South Africa. Charlie Dean and Sophie Ecclestone provide additional variety and depth, rounding out England’s options in what promises to be a challenging encounter.
England Women Predicted Playing XI:
Tammy Beaumont, Maia Bouchier, Heather Knight (c), Nat Sciver-Brunt, Danni Wyatt-Hodge, Amy Jones (wk), Charlie Dean, Sophie Ecclestone, Ryana MacDonald-Gay, Lauren Bell, Lauren Filer

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The MCG pitch looks firm with an even grass covering, though slightly drier than usual for a pink-ball Test. The surface should offer good carry early on, with the new ball expected to swing under lights. Spinners might come into play on days 3 and 4 as some wear develops. The drop-in pitch traditionally favors batters in the first two days, but evening sessions could test techniques against the seaming ball.
The weather in Melbourne looks perfect for cricket on Thursday's opening day, with 22°C forecast. It'll warm up gradually - 25°C on Friday, climbing to 29°C on Saturday, before hitting a hot 34°C for Sunday's final day.
AUSW vs ENGW Pitch Report
The MCG hasn't hosted women's Test cricket since 1949, so recent history won't help much. Still, the pitch looks good for a solid game, with 350 looking like a decent first-innings total. Batting might get tricky in the latter stages of the match.
Toss: To Bat
With the weather expected to be bright and sunny, expect the team winning the toss to bat first in the hope of putting up a huge score in good batting conditions on the first two days.
AUSW vs ENGW
Winning Prediction
Australia has held a firm upper hand against England in Tests, suffering just one defeat in their last nine meetings, with three wins and five draws. The only English victory was way back in January 2014. Australia will be eager to secure consecutive Test victories over England, something they haven’t accomplished in two decades. England, having lost both the white-ball series, will aim to recover some pride in this Test. Their confidence will stem from their impressive 286-run victory over South Africa in their previous Test. However, Australia’s strength in this format, especially on home soil, makes them the team to beat. We’re backing Australia to continue their impressive run.
