The one-off Test between Australia-W and England-W will kick off on January 30. The day-night Pink Ball Test will be played over the course of four-days, exactly like the First Class cricket format. The Three Lioness are yet to win a game in this series. They lost the ODI series 3-0 and the T20I series by the same margin. They would look to end the series on a high. On the other hand, the Aussies have a rare chance of inflicting a clean sweep.
