(UTV|COLOMBO) – Australia took a 4-0 lead in the multi-format Women’s Ashes with a four-wicket win in the second one-day international against England, despite a century from Tammy Beaumont in Leicester.
Opener Beaumont hit 114 from 115 balls but her dismissal sparked an England collapse from 187-6 to 217 all out, with Delissa Kimmince taking 5-26.
Ellyse Perry then hit 62 as Australia won with more than four overs to spare.
The two sides meet in the final one-day international in Canterbury on Sunday.
The teams play three one-day internationals, three T20 internationals and one Test match throughout July, with four points for a win and two for a draw in the Test, and two points for a win in all limited-overs games.
