MELBOURNE : Australia completed a 16-0 clean sweep in Women's Ashes after defeating England by an innings and 122 runs in the one-off Test in Melbourne on Saturday.
Holders Australia have been dominant in the multi-format Ashes as they also white-washed England in the three-match One Day Internationals and Twenty 20s held between the teams last month.
With England's loss, Australia have now achieved the first-ever Multi-format 16-0 Ashes clean sweep.
'' The 16-0 has a good ring to it. Very proud of the girls, we had our backs against the wall at times but stuck to our plans and wanted to entertain the crowd. Always ready to raise my hand with the ball,'' said Alana King, the player-of-the-series.
Australia captain Alyssa Healy said they enjoyed the series, especially after playing at the Melbourne Cricket Ground which set a record for attendance in a women's Test match.
'' Just want to say congratulations to Australia, they played some amazing cricket and pressed ahead with their advantages.
It has been a tough tour, we have competed at times,'' England captain Heather Knight said.
