Jones and England face battle to escape Ashes shadow in rematch

The Guardian

October 22, 2025

Amy Jones has claimed that January’s Ashes whitewash “hasn’t been a topic of discussion” before today’s World Cup clash between England and Australia. If you believe that, you will believe anything.

Both teams have qualified for the semifinals, so it could be argued that little will be at stake in Indore. That would be wrong. First, given the run of results in this World Cup, these sides are almost certain to finish first and second and therefore avoid a semifinal against each other - which means this game could well be a precursor to the final in Navi Mumbai on 2 November. Cricket is a game played partly in the mind: no one wants to be thumped by their opponents two weeks before they meet them in a tournament final.
