Women’s Ashes differs from its men’s counterpart by incorporating all three cricket formats: a single Test match, three T20 internationals and three one-day internationals (ODIs). This unique structure offers a more diverse and balanced competition.

The multi-format system was first introduced in the 2013 edition and has since been adopted in seven Women’s Ashes series. Each match contributes points to the overall tally, and the team that accumulates the most points is declared the winner.

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

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