Captain Alyssa Healy sets tone with knock of 142
Australia completed a record women’s one-day international chase as Alyssa Healy’s commanding 142 powered the defending champions to a three-wicket win over India on Sunday.
Set 331 for victory in the Women’s Cricket World Cup group-phase game, Australia reached their target with six balls to spare after Ellyse Perry guided her side home with an unbeaten 47 alongside Kim Garth. The victory, their third in four matches, lifted Australia to the top of the standings while the hosts, India, are third after a second straight defeat, having lost to South Africa earlier in the tournament. The top four teams qualify for the semi-finals .
