Women's cricket great Alyssa Healy ends her ODI career with 158 for Australia against India

HOBART, Australia — Alyssa Healy brought the curtain down on her One Day International career in unforgettable fashion, carving out a majestic 158 to propel Australia to a comfortable victory over India at Blundstone Arena on Sunday.

The wicket-keeper batter, already acclaimed as one of the women’s game’s modern greats, signed off her 50-over international journey with a innings of characteristic flair and precision. Healy’s century, her highest ODI score, anchored the home side’s total and ensured the series ended on a triumphant note for the Australians.

India, set a daunting target under lights, were unable to match the hosts’ intensity and ultimately fell short as Australia closed out the contest with plenty of overs to spare. The win provided a fitting send-off for Healy, whose final ODI appearance was celebrated by a raucous crowd that rose as one when she reached three figures and again when she eventually departed the crease.

The 158 not only underlined her enduring class but also served as a reminder of the impact she has had on the sport since debuting in the format more than a decade ago. With Sunday’s innings now etched into the record books, Healy steps away from ODI cricket as one of Australia’s most decorated players, leaving behind a legacy of match-winning performances and a reputation for thriving on the biggest stage.

Australia, meanwhile, will take confidence from the comprehensive display as they look ahead to their next international assignments, buoyed by the knowledge that their squad depth continues to shine even as one of its stalwarts moves on.
