The Women’s Ashes differs from its men’s counterpart in the inclusion of all three cricket formats: a one-off Test match, three T20 Internationals and three One Day Internationals (ODIs). This unique structure offers more diverse and balanced competition.

The multi-format system was first introduced in the 2013 edition and has since been adopted for seven Women’s Ashes series. Each match adds points to the total, and the team with the most points is declared the winner.

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

This format ensures that all three formats of the game matter, making the Women’s Ashes a dynamic and engaging contest.
