Australia retain Ashes with victory in first Twenty20

ELLYSE PERRY said yesterday that she was fully focused on getting results against England in the final two Twenty20 clashes despite celebrating Australia’s retention of the Ashes in Sydney through victory in the first T20.

The hosts chased down a target of 133 runs, thanks largely to a haul of 86 runs from Beth Mooney and four wickets from Megan Schutt, to take an unassailable lead in the multiformat series.

England will twice encounter Australia again in Canberra and all-rounder Perry wants to continue the domination.
