Alyssa Healy’s finest knocks in international cricket
A career built on big moments and bold batting is set to come to a close following the home series against India in March.
170 vs England, Christchurch, 2022
In the 2022 ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup final, Alyssa Healy delivered a career-defining performance with a scintillating 170 against England.
Having already scored a century in the semi-final against the West Indies, she became only the third player to register hundreds in both knockout matches of an ODI World Cup.
Her fifty came off 62 balls, her hundred off exactly 100, before accelerating dramatically in the latter stages.
She added 70 runs from her next 38 deliveries as Australia surged beyond reach. The innings, laced with 26 boundaries at a strike rate of 123.18 remains the highest score in a World Cup final across men’s and women’s cricket.

99 vs South Africa, WACA
Healy came agonisingly close to becoming the first Australian woman to score centuries in all three international formats, falling just one run short against South Africa at the WACA in the one-off Test match.
Walking in with Australia reeling at 12 for three, she steadied the innings with a composed 99 from 123 balls.
Just as she looked set to reach the landmark, a soft off-break from Delmi Tucker tempted her into a drive, resulting in a leading edge back to the bowler.
It proved an unfortunate dismissal, with her highest Test score mirroring the 99 made by her husband Mitchell Starc in India in 2013. Beth Mooney would later complete the format treble in 2025.
142 vs India, Visakhapatnam, 2025
Chasing uncharted territory, Healy produced one of the greatest World Cup innings as Australia pursued 331 against India - the then highest successful chase in women’s ODI history.
After a full stint behind the stumps and leading on field, she strode out unfazed and struck a commanding 142 from 107 deliveries, including 21 fours and three sixes.
Her innings blended control with power as Australia sealed victory with three wickets in hand and an over remaining.
It marked her first ODI century since the 2022 World Cup final. Healy later admitted the knock came unexpectedly following a challenging run with form and injury.

148 vs Sri Lanka, Sydney, 2019*
Healy rewrote the T20I record books with a blistering unbeaten 148 against Sri Lanka at North Sydney Oval.
Scored from just 61 balls, it was the highest individual total in women’s T20Is at the time and remains the highest by a player from a Full Member nation.
Her century arrived in just 46 deliveries, the second-fastest in the format. After surviving early chances, she dominated the bowling attack with 19 fours and seven sixes.
The innings firmly established her reputation as one of the most destructive batters in the women’s game.

129 vs West Indies, Wellington, 2022
Days before her heroics in the final, Healy set the tone in the semi-final with a commanding 129 against West Indies.
Opening alongside Rachael Haynes, she powered Australia to a 216-run stand that effectively ended the contest.
Her innings was measured early before accelerating sharply, with the second fifty coming at more than twice the pace of the first. Finishing with 17 fours and a six, she was the dominant force in the opening partnership.
The knock ensured Australia’s passage into a seventh Women’s World Cup final, going on to lift it a few days later.
