Channel Nine has shifted Sunday’s third one-day international in the Women’s Ashes series from its offshoot, 9Gem, to the main channel, a decision the Australia captain, Rachael Haynes, labelled “awesome”. The promotion comes after a strong start to the series for Australia, both in terms of results and television audiences. Haynes’ side have won the first two ODIs to take a 4-0 points lead over England. Another Australian victory on Sunday would give the hosts a 6-0 points lead, with just a further two required from the remainder of the series to retain the Ashes. The four-day showpiece event will be broadcast only via a Cricket Australia live stream.
