Australia women backed by McGrath’s performance win first Ashes T20

(Cricket news) Tahlia McGrath was on fire with the bat and ball as Australia Women won the first IT20 of the Women's Ashes and went 2-0 up in the multi-format series.

Tahlia hit 91 from just 49 balls to chase down England's 169-4, and as the visitors' promising showing with the bat went in vain. Earlier, McGrath had taken 3 wickets to trouble England back after Danni Wyatt had made a solid 70.

The second IT20 will also be played at Adelaide Oval, on Saturday. The multi-format Ashes is the best of 16 points, with two points each for a white-ball game and four points for the Test match.
