Alyssa Healy’s 142 leads Australia to epic three-wicket win over India in Visakhapatnam, the highest successful chase in women’s ODI history
In Visakhapatnam on October 12, Australia rewrote women’s cricket history by chasing down 331 against India — the highest successful run chase ever recorded in women’s One Day Internationals.
The thrilling win came in a World Cup group-stage match, with Australia prevailing by three wickets and an over to spare.
India, batting first, posted 330 all out, anchored by contributions from openers Smriti Mandhana (80 off 66) and Pratika Rawal (75 off 96), supported by useful lower-order runs.
The total marked one of India’s highest World Cup innings and represented a formidable target under pressure.
Australia’s response was masterfully led by captain Alyssa Healy, who scored 142 off 107 balls — her first ODI century as skipper and one of the highest individual scores in a successful chase.
She struck 21 fours and 3 sixes, pacing the innings from the outset.
Her performance remains only behind legendary figures in women’s World Cups.
Behind her, Ellyse Perry joined the chase heroics, assisting in the tense final overs to guide Australia home.
The hosts were kept in check by an inspired bowling spell from Annabel Sutherland, who claimed 5 wickets for 40 runs.
Sophie Molineux also chipped in with three wickets.
Despite a strong start and promising partnerships, India’s lower order faltered under mounting pressure.
This remarkable chase eclipsed the previous women’s ODI record of 302, making it the highest ever successfully chased in the format.
The match also logged a combined run tally of 661 — one of the largest aggregates in World Cup history.
Australia’s victory thrust them to the top of the tournament standings, while India slipped in the pecking order.
As both sides continue their World Cup campaigns, Australia’s record run chase stands as a landmark moment — a testament to their depth, leadership under pressure, and the evolving heights of women’s international cricket.
