Let's take a look at the result of the prestigious series till now.

Women’s Ashes | Format

The Women’s Ashes differs from its men’s counterpart by incorporating all three formats of cricket: a single Test match, three T20I, and three ODIs. 

The multi-format system was first introduced in the 2013 edition and has since been adopted for seven Women’s Ashes series.

Each match contributes points toward the overall tally, with the team accumulating the most points declared the winner.

For the first time since the introduction of the multi-format setup, the Women’s Ashes is being played in a separate season from the men’s Ashes, marking a new chapter in the series’ history.

Points system introduced in 2013

The points system introduced in 2013 has added a new layer of excitement to the series, awarding points based on match outcomes across ODIs, T20Is and a Test match.

A win in an ODI or T20I earns 2 points, while a Test win grants 4 points. If a match ends in a draw or has no result, both teams receive points accordingly.

A letter from Labour MP Tonia Antoniazzi to ECB Chief Executive Richard Gould said, "We strongly urge the England men's team players and officials to speak out against the horrific treatment of women and girls in Afghanistan under the Taliban. We also urge the ECB to consider a boycott of the upcoming match against Afghanistan… to send a clear signal that such grotesque abuses will not be tolerated."
