Australia Women v England Women second ODI: Prediction, Tips and Odds

Australia Women captain Alyssa Healy starred in the Ashes series opener and she could play a key role in the second ODI in Melbourne.

Australia Women v England Women second ODI betting tips and predictions

Alyssa Healy to be Australia top batter - 15/4

Australia Women showcased their depth of talent with both bat and ball in Sunday's first Ashes ODI against England Women in Sydney.

Star fast bowler Megan Schutt went wicketless in her seven overs but Kim Garth, Annabel Sutherland, Alana King, Darcie Brown and Ash Gardner combined to bowl out England for a modest total of 204.

All-rounder Gardner followed up her 3-19 with an unbeaten 42 to seal a four-wicket victory in the first match of the multi-format Ashes series.

There are two ODIs, three T20 internationals and a Test match to come but England cannot afford to allow the Aussies to take a sizeable early lead in the series.

Heather Knight's tourists are 11/4 to square the ODI leg of the Ashes at 1-1 with a victory at Melbourne's Junction Oval, where Australia have won all eight of their previous 50-over internationals.

That dominant run includes victories by five wickets and eight wickets over England in the 2021/22 Ashes and Knight's opposite number Alyssa Healy should be full of confidence going into the second ODI.

Healy not only captains Australia's ODI side but also keeps wicket and opens the batting, powering their successful run-chase at North Sydney Oval with a knock of 70 off 78 balls.

Her last four ODI scores at Junction Oval were 46 against New Zealand, 22 and 42 against England and 32 off 27 balls against the West Indies and she should be backed to top-score for the impressive hosts in the second one-dayer. 

Annabel Sutherland to be Player of the Match - 11/1

Annabel Sutherland is a potential matchwinner with bat and ball for Australia and she looks a tempting bet in the Player of the Match market.

Sutherland scored back-to-back ODI centuries against India and New Zealand last month but her bowling took centre stage in the Ashes opener as she dismissed England opener Tammy Beaumont and number five Danni Wyatt-Hodge.

The powerful all-rounder loves bowling at Junction Oval, where she has taken 11 wickets in just four ODI appearances.

Sutherland was Player of the Match for her figures of 4-31 in the third ODI against England in February 2022 and claimed six wickets in only nine overs at the venue in two matches against the West Indies in October 2023. 

England Women Highest Individual Score - Under 63.5 - 5/6

England Women were bowled out for 129 and 163 in two ODIs at Junction Oval in 2022 and Australia skittled the West Indies for 103 in their most recent 50-over international at the ground.

Rain denied England's batters any meaningful preparation for the Ashes and they looked undercooked in the first ODI, when Knight (39), Wyatt-Hodge (38) and wicketkeeper Amy Jones (31) were the only batters to reach 20.

Backing England's highest score to be under 63.5 in the second ODI looks a solid bet given the quality of Australia's pace and spin-bowling attacks.

England's top individual scores in the three ODIs in the 2021/22 Ashes were 45, 32 and 50 while Suzie Bates's 53 was New Zealand's best effort of their one-day series against Australia just before Christmas.
