Australia relish the pressure of the Women’s Ashes as England squander their chances | Beth Mooney

England have said T20 is their best format but we take confidence from playing at home and having 11 players who can deliver a knockout blow

This is what we play cricket for. Even though we’ve built up a 6-0 lead in the Ashes, all three games have felt like they’re on a knife’s edge at points. England have got themselves into winning positions and just haven’t been able to land their knockout blow, and we’ve managed to find a way to win the key moments and come away with the two points. I don’t know if that’s down to our group being able to handle those big moments better but we do relish the pressure.

We’re at a really good place in the team where someone always stands up and takes hold of the game. We’re lucky in that sense that we’ve got great depth in our side, as well as a good balance of personalities and skill sets. That really helps win those pressure moments, knowing that you can take the game on and not be too scared to leave it to someone else.
