Australia 180 (Perry 60, Ecclestone 4-35, Capsey 3-22) beat 159 England (Jones 47*, King 4-25, Garth 3-37) by 21 runs

As good as Australia's bowlers were, England's batters were enormous contributors to their own downfall with a mix of woeful decision-making and execution ensuring Australia could afford to drop four catches, have Annabel Sutherland withdrawn from the attack for two no-balls above waist high in the 48th over, and still win by 21 runs.

Capsey, had just five ODI wickets to her name prior to this match and previous best figures of 2 for 59. It was the first time Australia had been bowled out at the Junction Oval in nine completed ODIs there. The rarity of Australia's stunning collapse was highlighted by the fact that their No.11 Darcie Brown scored her first ODI run, having previously batted just once in 22 matches dating back to her ODI debut in 2021.
