On retaining the Women's Ashes after a three-run win over England in the second ODI at the Ageas Bowl, Australia captain Alyssa Healy commended her team's pride and conviction in themselves of winning the key moments in the match.

Australia's thrilling victory at Southampton sees them lead 8-6 on points and retain Women's Ashes despite losing their last three white-ball games in the series and Nat Sciver-Brunt hitting an unbeaten 111 in the second ODI.

But Australia's ploy of playing four spinners meant they were able to restrict England to 279 in a chase of 283.

"We pride ourselves to win key moments. We came here to win the Ashes and we've retained them, it's exciting and huge congratulations to the group for getting it done. Nat Sciver-Brunt played a pretty incredible innings. I thought she was going to take it away from us in the end. Our girls showed grit and determination," said Healy.
