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.
