Ashleigh Gardner struck a sublime 104 not out while Annabel Sutherland slammed 98 not out as Australia cruised to a six-wicket win over England and climbed to the top of the points table of the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup at the Holkar Stadium in Indore on Wednesday.
The unbeaten 180-run partnership between Ashleigh, who hit 16 boundaries, and Annabel, who slammed nine fours and six, lifted Australia from a precarious 68/4 to completing the chase with 57 balls to spare.
England had seized early control after taking four wickets quickly, but the Ashleigh-Annabel duo turned the tide with a counter-attacking masterclass, combining power and placement in what will go down as one of the tournament’s standout partnerships. Earlier, England had posted 244 for 9 in 50 overs
