Career

Batting consistency
Mooney's impressive record in the format
Mooney's consistency is especially impressive considering the unpredictable nature of T20 cricket, a format that often demands risk-taking from the get-go.
She has never been dismissed in the 20th over while batting first, and only twice in the 19th.
This consistency also translates to her role as an opener where she has ended up not out at the end of a chase 14 times.
Team performance
Australia's winning streak and England's struggles
Australia's win against England was their sixth consecutive in this series.
Meanwhile, England have been reeling with a series of losses and will have their last opportunity to avoid a clean sweep in the next week's Test match.
Despite having all the resources and support, England have found it difficult to match up against an Australian side that is currently outshining them.
