England Seal It. The Oval Erupts. 💥
One final ball. One defining moment. The Women’s Ashes 2025 ended with Sophie Ecclestone bowling the delivery of her life — clean-bowling Tahlia McGrath and sparking scenes of unfiltered joy across the stadium. Fans jumped, players cried, and commentators lost their voices.
“This is bigger than just a win,” said Heather Knight. “It’s about pride, patience, and the belief that never dies.”
Final Match Summary 📋
The Rollercoaster in Three Acts 🎢
Act I — England’s Steady Start: Openers Tammy Beaumont and Sophia Dunkley set the tone with a composed 60-run partnership. England’s batting looked calculated — patient but assertive.
Act II — Australia Fight Back: Perry and Mooney countered hard, driving Australia into contention. When Perry reached her 50, the tension inside The Oval was electric.
Act III — Ecclestone’s Magic: With four runs needed off the final ball, Ecclestone’s delivery clipped the top of off-stump — England’s bench stormed the field. The dream was real.
