SYDNEY — It has taken just nine days for Australia's cricketers to retain the Women's Ashes. The Australians won a fourth straight game in the multi-format series with a 57-run victory in the first of the three T20s between the rivals. They had previously won all three one-day internationals so have powered into an unassailable 8-0 lead. There are only eight points still on offer in the series. It means Australia just has to win or draw either of the two remaining T20s or the series-closing test match to clinch the series outright. The Australians have held the Ashes since 2015, when they won the multi-format series on English soil.
