Australia 205 for 9 (Mooney 73, Cross 3-33, Brunt 3-40) beat England 178 (Sciver 45, Brunt 32, Brown 4-34) by 27 runs
Youthful fast Darcie Brown conveyed the game dominating exhibition as Australia conquered an impassive batting execution to get an Ashes-holding triumph in Canberra with England left to watch a challenge slip from their grip for the second time in four days.
The outcome gave Australia an unassailable 8-4 lead in the multi-design series with two ODIs remaining and implied the Ashes would stay in their ownership as they have done beginning around 2015.
Beth Mooney's 73 had assisted Australia with scratching more than 200 what began to look significantly really overwhelming when Brown shook England right off the bat in the pursuit including eliminating Heather Knight for a first-ball duck.
Nat Sciver endeavored to hold the innings together, yet when she left to an eminent return get from Brown with 103 still required the undertaking was past England's lower request. Last pair Katherine Brunt and Kate Cross momentarily recommended something exceptional, however it wasn't to be.
A defining moment had come when Amy Jones clubbed a full throw from Tahlia McGrath to profound midwicket in the twentieth over which the third umpire controlled was a fringe legitimate conveyance.
Brown, who currently has two four-wicket pulls in her initial four ODIs, had given Australia the ideal beginning as they shielded what seemed a disappointing aggregate yet on a surface that offered some assistance all through. Tammy Beaumont edged an outswinger to slip and Knight, after her epic 168, was stuck in front by a full conveyance which she knew would be a squandered survey.
Megan Schutt turned into the second-quickest bowler to 100 wickets in ladies' ODIs when Lauren Winfield-Hill pulled to profound square-leg to leave England 39 for 3. Schutt, who had been avoided with regard to the Test to deal with her responsibility after Covid-19, later got back to end a compromising stand among Brunt and Danni Wyatt.
After McGrath had the minor no-ball call turn out well for her, she stuck Sophia Dunkley lbw in her next over to leave the pursuit looking a difficult task even before Sciver got a main edge against Brown which was all around held jumping forward in her completion.
Britain had held control for most of Australia's innings yet in the ultimate result the eighth-wicket stand of 52 between Mooney, who didn't field because of quad snugness, and debutant Alana King demonstrated imperative.
As she had against India in Mackay recently - while remaining in at the highest point of the request with her unbeaten 125 - Mooney stuck Australia together after they had lost 3 for 7.
Alyssa Healy and Meg Lanning must be mindful against the moving ball and Australia's powerplay complete of 34 for 1 equalled their most reduced since the 2017 World Cup.
Exactly when the pair were digging up some authentic confidence, England made significant advances. Cross created a splendid conveyance which spiked back at Lanning to take the off stump and Ellyse Perry was then crushed in the air by Sophie Ecclestone which brought about a return get and just the second brilliant duck of her ODI vocation. It was additionally the initial time since February 2019 that her ODI normal had dipped under 50.
Healy then, at that point, tumbled to an exceptional piece of glovework from Jones who finished the confusing with the foot still in the air.
In the midst of the wickets, there was a 11-over stretch where Australia scored only 22 runs as Ecclestone and Sciver smothered the innings. Nine runs off Ecclestone's 6th over kicked things up a stuff and when Mooney took Shrubsole over profound midwicket for six there was a feeling of a force swing.
Nonetheless, Brunt created a fiendish conveyance that touched back to take McGrath's off stump and Ashleigh Gardner was beaten by Knight's sharp work at midwicket.
Mooney was at risk for running out of accomplices when the seventh wicket fell with nine overs remaining however King offered great help and clubbed valuable limits. Yet again australia tracked down a way.
