How to watch Women's Ashes 2022: live stream Australia vs England ODIs from anywhere

After a breathtaking climax to their Test match last weekend, the Australia and England women's cricket teams turn their attention once again to the white-ball game. With three ODIs to finish off the series and the Ashes still up for grabs, we explain how to get a Women's Ashes live stream and watch Australia vs England no matter where you are in the world.

After the recent ignominious defeat for the men's team Down Under, Captain Heather Knight and her England team are hoping to restore some pride as they take on the Aussies for the Women's Ashes. And Meg Lanning's team is standing in their way.

The perfect primer for the 2022 Women's Cricket World Cup in March, this multi-format series takes in three T20s, followed by one four-day Test match and three ODIs.

After first blood went to the Australians - in the form of a 9-wicket T20i thrashing, lit up by the awesome Tahlia McGrath - the next two were washed out. What followed was one of the greatest adverts for women's cricket in the form's history, with a remarkable Test match in Canberra that eventually ended in a nail-biting draw.

Follow our guide for all you need to know to watch a 2022 Women's Ashes live stream no matter where you are - and, perhaps best of all, fans in Australia can watch the Ashes free on TV on Channel 7. Kayo Sports is how to watch the Ashes online and on your mobile wherever you are.
