Alyssa Healy was delighted to lead from the front as her century helped Australia secure a tense three-wicket win over India at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025.
Healy's 142 from 107 deliveries, featuring 21 fours and three sixes, was the catalyst for Australia's record-breaking victory, 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.
