ENGLAND captain Heather Knight insists her side are “still alive” in the Women’s Ashes, despite an ODI whitewash that leaves them on the brink of leaving Australia empty handed.
The tourists have been outclassed in the 50-over leg of the multi-format series, with today’s thumping 86-run loss in Hobart following setbacks in Melbourne and Sydney.
That leaves Australia with a 6-0 lead on the points table and within one more win of retaining. Knight’s side, meanwhile, need to take a clean sweep of three T20s and the concluding Test match to emerge victorious.
