Dominating Display: Alyssa Healy’s Century Powers Australia Women Over India in 2025 Women’s World Cup Clash

In a highly anticipated Women’s One Day International (ODI) match at the Dr. Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA–VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam, Australia women’s cricket team showcased a dominant performance against India on October 12, 2025.

Australia’s opening batter and captain-wicketkeeper Alyssa Healy was the star of the day, scoring a commanding century that propelled her team to a formidable position. By the 37th over, Australia had reached 245 runs for the loss of 3 wickets, positioning themselves strongly in the chase.

The Australian squad, led by Healy and including notable players such as Ellyse Perry, Beth Mooney, and Ashleigh Gardner, brought their experience and skill sharply into focus. Healy’s century was critical in setting a high benchmark, continuing Australia’s historically strong head-to-head record against India in Women’s ODIs, with 48 wins out of 59 matches played.

On the other side, the Indian women’s team, captained by Harmanpreet Kaur, faced a challenging battle to break through Australia’s batting lineup. Despite a determined effort by players including Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues, India struggled to claim wickets and stem the flow of runs.

The Indian team’s squad also featured young talents such as Pratika Rawal, Deepti Sharma, and Richa Ghosh as wicketkeeper, who worked collectively to apply pressure but were unable to significantly disrupt Australia’s momentum during the mid-innings phase.

This match is a crucial fixture in the 2025 ICC Women’s World Cup schedule, bringing together two cricketing powerhouses and highlighting the growing competitiveness and skill level in women’s international cricket.

Fans and analysts alike have noted that Australia's strong batting lineup, spearheaded by the in-form Healy, combined with tight bowling from players like Megan Schutt and Megan Sutherland, will be tough for India to overcome.

The game continues to draw significant attention, live commentary offering detailed updates and analysis, reflecting the sport’s burgeoning popularity and the intense rivalry between India and Australia women’s teams.
