Australia won THE Ashes campaign in 2023

In Ashes 2023 in June and July, Australia managed to retain the urn with a 2-2 draw. Playing on English soil, the Australian Team under Pat Cummins made a fabulous start. They won the 1st Test by 2 wickets and the 2nd Test by 43 runs.

However, England made a superb comeback by winning the 3rd game by 3 wickets otherwise, they would have lost the series in the first three games itself.

With the Bazball approach, England made a magnificent turnaround to win the 5th Test too, and draw the series in the end.

Notably, the 4th Test was washed out due to rain in the final days when England had almost won the game.

The weather impact took a big toll on the England Team and they failed to clinch the Ashes trophy from Australia. Since the Aussies won the previous series in 2021 (4-1), they were declared the winners of the 2023 tournament.
