Although the last Women's Ashes series saw England Women come back from a six point deficit to share the trophy, it currently looks highly unlikely that the same will play out in this edition. Firstly, the last series was in England, where the conditions were very different but also Australia Women are an even tougher side at home!
That said, it is often believed that the shorter formats provide more of an opportunity for a weaker side as there is not as much time for the stronger team to show their dominance.
England Women will look at this game as an opportunity to re-set and get back into the series whereas Australia Women will arrive at the SCG with plans to take an 8-0 points lead.

Australia Women are a dominant side irrespective of the format and that was what made their Women's T20 World Cup semi-final defeat to South Africa Women all the more surprising in October last month.
They were also not at their best with the bat in the opening two WODIs of this series, losing six wickets in the first and being bowled out for 180 in the second. The hosts were also in trouble at 59/4 midway through the 15th over of the third WODI before Ashleigh Gardner's century.
But the bad news for England Women is that Australia's Women's batting is improving while their bowling continues to be of the highest order. The hosts will arrive at the SCG with plenty of confidence throughout their side
Mooney scored 494 runs in 17 WT20I matches last year, averaging 38. In the two WT20I matches she has played at the SCG, the left-handed batter scored 62 runs. Mooney is a key player for the Australian team, providing stability to the innings from one end and frequently batting deep into the innings. Given her crucial role and impressive T20I record, we predict that Mooney will score over 27 runs in today's match.

It will be tough for England Women to turn around the six points deficit in this Women's Ashes series, particularly as the Australia Women are the home side and playing in front of their fans.
After a disappointing WODI series, Heather Knight will be keen to stress the positives for her team ahead of this WT20I. The two main ones are that England Women finally saw a batter go to a half-century on Friday when opener Tammy Beaumont hit 54 and she was followed by Nat Sciver-Brunt who hit 61. Danni Wyatt-Hodge and Amy Jones will also come into this WT20I in good form.
With the ball, Sophie Ecclestone will once again be England Women's main threat and she will be desperate to right the wrongs of Friday when she conceded 76 runs across her ten overs in Tasmania.
Nat Sciver Brunt scored 115 runs in 3 matches in the recently concluded ODI series and is in good touch heading into the T20I series. In 2024, she scored 423 runs in 11 matches, averaging 47, demonstrating her exceptional T20 batting skills and her ability to consistently score runs with minimal risk. Given her recent form, we predict that Nat Sciver Brunt will begin the T20I series with a strong performance.

According to the forecast, this will be a warm and clear evening in Sydney. The start of the game will begin under sunny skies before dusk falls and the temperature will be over 20 degrees throughout.

Minimal TurnThe SCG is one of the oldest and most iconic stadiums in Australia and could well bring out the best from both sides in this game. There will be some turn for the spinners and batters never feel totally comfortable at a venue where ball often is in charge.
We are backing the luck to be in favor of the home side Australia Women to win the coin toss.
The pitch at the SCG favours the batters, where the ball comes onto the bat nicely and is a high scoring ground. Both batting lineups are coming into this contest on the back of a high scoring ODI series and we predict another high scoring affair to kickstart the T20 series and predict the total match score to be over 300.
Only three WT20Is have been played at the SCG and the last two were both won by the team batting first. With Australia Women also winning the last two WODIs when batting first, we predict that both captains will be looking to bat first in this match.
England Women certainly still believe that they are in this series but they can afford very few further slip ups with only ten points left to play for! Australia Women have proved to be playing at a higher level and stronger in local conditions so we are predicting another home victory.
