Alyssa Healy scored a scintillating 133 off 115 balls, to put Australia Women in a commanding position against India Women in the 3rd ODI at Vadodara.
Australia Women won the toss and elected to bat. They got off to a reasonably good start before Bolton, the from the other night, departed for 11. Meg Lanning, who is one of their better players and the captain did not have a great outing, she departed for 18 runs. But Alyssa Healy stood firm and continued her merrymaking. She brought up her first ever hundred in the process. Her innings of 133 comprised of 2 sixes as well. She also hit 17 fours in her innings. Healy on her way to this score broke a couple of records. Alyssa Healy now has the highest ODI score for #AUSvIND, and the highest by any player against India in India, beating Meg Lanning’s 128 at Wankhede Stadium on 14 Mar 2012. This is also the 3rd highest score by a women’s ODI wicket-keeper.

Australia Women have in the meanwhile set India Women a stiff target of 333 to win. The big guns from India need to fire in unison for India to pose a decent threat.
