ENGLAND captain Heather Knight was frustrated by the rain that halted her side’s push for a first victory of this year’s Ashes as Australia won the second T20 by six runs on Duckworth-Lewis-Stern in Canberra today.
The win meant Australia claimed an outright Ashes victory, taking an unassailable 10-0 lead in the series with one more T20 and a Test match still to come.
England were chasing 186 and needed 18 runs from five balls, with Knight unbeaten on 43 from 19 deliveries, when the players were brought off for a second time due to rain and Australia narrowly ahead on DLS.
