The Aussies continue to dominate the Ashes with another massive win in the T20 final
Veteran Beth Mooney starred for England’s Australia Women with a 72-run third in the T20 to complete a White Ashes run.
Mooney smashed a brilliant 44 off 63 balls as Australia posted 5-162 at Adelaide Oval on Saturday night.
England were completed for 90 in 17.3 overs, with Georgie Wareham taking 3-11 as Australia swept the three-match T20 series.

The Australians also registered a 3-0 win in the Top 50 Series.
Australia can close out the perfect Ashes with victory in the one-off Test match at the MCG starting on Thursday.
Mooney, before a crowd of 10,921 – a record for an Australian bowler in a white ball in Adelaide – was shy of becoming the first Australian to score three T20 international centuries.
Mooney has two T20 international buzz, as does retired great Meg Lanning.
But she extended her torment to the tourists, after scores of 44 and 75 in the initial T20 encounters.
Mooney matched her 25th T20 International half-century with 10 fours, including a bold drop shot from BACE bowler Lauren Filer.
The 31-year-old set the tone with opening partner Georgia Foale (23 off 21 balls), as the pair put together a half-century partnership off 41 balls.
The podium ended on 56 when Bean was caught at deep midwicket but Mooney continued on her merry way despite repeatedly losing partners.
Phoebe Litchfield (12 off 10 balls), Elsie Perry (12 off 11 balls), Grace Harris (11 off 10) and Annabel Sutherland (three off three) fell cheaply.
England’s run chase started poorly – they were 3-23 in the fourth over.
And the tourists’ fate was effectively sealed when spinner Wareham took two wickets in three balls in the seventh over as England crashed to 5-39.
Darcie Brown (2-25) struck again in the next over, Wareham claiming her third victim on just three balls as POMS fell to 7-48.
Alana King (1-17), Annabel Sutherland (1-14), Long McGrath (1-4) and Megan Shutt (1-17) were among the wickets.
Only two English batsmen reached double figures with captain Heather Knight scoring with 40 off 38 balls.
