Rain washes away the English fight while the Aussies completes the victory of Ashes

Under bizarre circumstances, England has painfully failed in the first victory of the Ashes series, in which heavy rain ended the second T20i in Canberra with only five balls left in the game.

Heather Knight had made a way to 43 from 19 deliveries to keep England alive in their pursuit of 186 on a stormy night in Manuka Oval, but her attack and her team remained 18 runs in front of their goal when the sudden downpour struck. The final passed.

Because no resumption was possible, Australia was holding on to a victory of six runs (DSL) to officially win the points -based series in several formats with a T20i and the test.

Knight had arrived in the middle, with England needing an increasingly unlikely 87 out of 43.

While Australia managed to control Natalie Scivering (22 out of 20), Knight seized the opportunity on an area that she enjoys so much.

When the required run-rate in the 17th crawled over 15, Knight kicked into the accelerator pedal when 39 runs came from the next three overs to keep the hope of England alive.

Stand-in skipper Tahlia McGrath needed 22 out of six and threw the ball to Annabel Sutherland, and due to the slow over rates of Australia, only three field players remained outside the ring.

Knight struck the first ball for four, making the score 18 out of five, but when the referees gave a signal for the covers in increasingly greater rain, the English captain frustrated her bat frustrated.

Australia now leads the series 10-0 and the third and last T20i will be played in Adelaide Oval on Saturday.

Previously, McGrath (48 No. from 35) and Grace Harris (35 No. of 17) 's record sixth Wicket 71-Run Stand Australia stand on 5-185.

Opener Danni Wyatt-Hodge (52 of 40), knowing that wet weather was coming, ensured that the chase of England started quickly and reached eight boundaries through the powerplay.

Her alertness on the situation turned out to be clear when there was a flash of light in the five-over mark, the minimum number of overs needed for a result, and both she and opening partner Maia Bouchier immediately sprinted off the ground, but were waved back by the referees .

Bouchier missed a disaster at 13 to give Annabel Sutherland a simple return catch, but the in shape Sophia Dunkley (32 of 22) joined Wyatt-Hodge to keep the English nose in front of the par score in increasingly fierce Rain, which delayed the game for a short time. After 8.4 overs.

Because the wet ball destroyed the impact of the Australian leg spinners and caused problems in the field, the English couple continued the attack when the game was resumed.

A double stroke of Megan Schutt removed both in the 34th, which means that the experienced pair of sciver brunt and Knight came together with 87 out of 43.

When the rain that seemed to be sure to be sure to end the procedure was temporarily evaporated, this forced a shift in England's approach, since concern about the equal score was secondary care until the country returned to the final with revenge.

Earlier, when Australia again Captain Alyssa Healy (Voet) and Ster-Allrounder Ashleigh Gardner (Kuit) missed when they were sent, Beth Moeney's 31-ball 44 gave the hosts a strong start before the uninterrupted sixth wicket stand of 71 out of 35 between McGrath and Harris booked the innings of 5-185.

The fieldwork of England came back into the picture when both were released, with Harris, who had just sent Charlie Dean the hill, survived after a confusion had to see her running at eight.

McGrath was then dropped during a hectic 19th, in which the Australian vice-captain hit a quartet of four on Sophie Ecclestone; Two of those who reached the border thanks to Misfields, while she was also placed in the depth by Dean.

Harris then got two more limits when 17 runs came from the final of Lauren Bell, so England needed their highest chase at Manuka.

Previously Moeney brought the Australians to a flyer, dominated the attack via the PowerPlay and reached seven borders.

Georgia Voll had only met five balls for five runs at the last ball of the fifth when she fell short in an attempt at an ambitious third run, ending an opening position of 47 runs. Moeney joined her opening partner in the dug-out when she was bumped wide from an ecclestone, with the fast glove of Amy Jones putting an end to her 31-ball knock.

The first border of Phoebe Litchfield came through a characteristic Reverse Sweep, and she found the border twice before she was bowled in an attempt to reverse Dean, so that her stumps were exposed to the off-spinner.

Elly Perry (2) left cheap and the promising start of Sutherland ended on 18 out of 11 when England brought Australia to the same height via the middle overs, before the large finish of McGrath and Harris brought the hosts to 5-185.

Australia and England are now traveling to Adelaide for the third and last T20i, which is played in Adelaide Oval on Saturday evening.
