Our nation’s most-loved sporting side, the Australian women’s cricket team, will continue its quest to secure the Ashes, live and free on the Seven Network tomorrow, when they take on England in a blockbuster Test at Canberra’s Manuka Oval.
Over the next four days on Channel 7, the Aussies led by Meg Lanning, Ellyse Perry and Alyssa Healy will battle for an indisputable six-point lead over England, to secure the ultimate prize. Only six points remain on offer after this Test in the three-match ODI series.
Seven’s coverage will again be led by cricket’s #1 commentary team, which for the Women’s Ashes features Alison Mitchell, Alister Nicholson and Andy Maher in lead commentary, with experts Lisa Sthalekar, Holly Ferling, Kirby Short, Emma Inglis, Brad Hodge, Trent Copeland and Isabella Westbury.
The action kicks off at 10.00am AEDT tomorrow on Channel 7, following Seven’s pre-game coverage at 9.25am AEDT.
Former Australian women’s captain Lisa Sthalekar, who enjoyed a stellar international career from 2001 to 2013, is anticipating an exciting finish to the series.
“England is a side that believes it can beat Australia. Its players know they can compete against the best and Australia is the best at the moment,”
– she said.
“There is so much at stake, not only for each team but also the individual players in each squad. The Test in among this Ashes series is one that the players lift for. It is a chance as a team and as an individual to create lasting memories in the hardest format.”
Managing Director Seven Melbourne and Head of Network Sport, Lewis Martin, said:
“There’s no better way to celebrate Australia’s most popular sporting team, our national women’s cricket team, than live and free on Seven. The Test against England, following last week’s T20 matches, is bound to be a great contest.
“There is still so much to enjoy during Seven’s summer of cricket, with the thrilling women’s Ashes series and the explosive Big Bash League finals.”
