Melbourne, February 1 (Reporter) Australia sealed a historic multi-format Ashes series sweep with a resounding innings-and-122-run victory over England in the day-night Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Saturday. A brilliant spell of leg-spin from Alana King, coupled with Ashleigh Gardner's support, ensured the hosts completed the demolition in just three days. King's mesmerising 5-53 from the Shane Warne Stand end played a central role in the rout, as England were bowled out for just 148 in 68.4 overs. The Victorian spinner ended the series with 9-98, with her partner Gardner taking 4-39, to dismiss England after they had been set a daunting target. Beth Mooney, earlier in the day, had cemented her place in Australian cricket history by becoming the first Australian woman to score a century across all three formats. She resumed her innings on 98, quickly bringing up her milestone with a confident two off Sophie Ecclestone, before eventually being dismissed for 106. Mooney ended the series with 409 runs, setting a new record for the most runs in a multi-format Ashes. This triumph came just 22 days after Australia's vow to avenge their 2023 UK tour, where they had lost a 6-0 advantage to England, resulting in a drawn series. Alyssa Healy's team, however, turned the tables spectacularly, winning every game across all formats to claim a 16-0 victory, the first of its kind in Ashes history since the points-based system was introduced. The day unfolded with England in early trouble. Australia’s first-innings total of 440 had already placed the tourists on the back foot, with a substantial deficit of 270 runs. Tammy Beaumont (47) and Heather Knight (32) mounted some resistance but were ultimately undone by Australia's spinners. King dismissed Knight with a sharp catch from Phoebe Litchfield, before Gardner’s tight bowling saw England’s lower order crumble. Natalie Sciver-Brunt, the key wicket for England, fell to King for the fourth time this series, trapped lbw for 18, further highlighting the dominance of Australia's spinners. The tail offered little resistance, and with King taking the final wicket of Laurens Filer, England's efforts were brought to an abrupt end. Australia’s triumph, despite missing key players like Healy and Gardner for the T20I leg, demonstrated their strength in depth. King, who ended the Ashes with the equal-highest haul of 23 wickets, was awarded the Peden-Archdale medal as player of the series, edging out Gardner, who also took 23 wickets. The victory marked a fitting conclusion to an Ashes series that has firmly established Australia as the dominant force in women's cricket...////...
