Ellyse Perry’s masterful 64 helped Australia secure a five-wicket warm-up win over ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 hosts England. The six-time champions chased down 158 with an impressive performance ahead of their opening game against South Africa on Saturday.

After choosing to bowl, Australia decimated England’s opening order with the returning Nat Sciver-Brunt departing for three runs to leave her side 19 for three in the fifth over. Alice Capsey and Heather Knight steadied England, with the former making 45 off 36 before being dismissed lbw by Megan Schutt.
