Alyssa Healy Leads Australia to Record-Breaking Win
Alyssa Healy was delighted to lead from the front as her century helped Australia to a tense three-wicket win over India at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025.
Healy blasted a tournament high 142 from 107 deliveries, featuring 21 fours and three sixes, which acted as the catalyst to Australia reaching their target of 331 – the highest successful chase in women’s ODI history.
“Obviously I'm proud personally to be able to do that,” she said. “I was trying to lock in for a big day. I know there was a bit of pressure on our top order, but to be out there and contribute heavily was great. “I would have loved to be out there a little bit longer and see it home, but the girls got the job done, which is good.
The record-breaking victory sees the seven-time champions return to the top of the group stage table.
