Healy's 142 Leads Australia to Record 331 Chase Over India at Women's World Cup

The victory lifted Australia to first in the table on seven points, leaving India third on four and needing wins to stay on course for the semifinals.

Overview

  • Alyssa Healy scored 142 off 107 balls for her first ODI hundred as captain, steering Australia to 331 for 7 with six balls to spare.
  • Ellyse Perry retired hurt with cramps, returned late, and finished unbeaten on 47 alongside Kim Garth to seal the three-wicket win.
  • India posted 330 after a 155-run opening stand from Smriti Mandhana (80) and Pratika Rawal (75), their highest World Cup total.
  • Mandhana became the first woman to reach 1,000 ODI runs in a calendar year and crossed 5,000 career WODI runs during her innings.
  • Annabel Sutherland’s 5 for 40 triggered India’s late slide as they lost their last six wickets for 36, curbing a platform that threatened 360-plus.
