set to retire from all formats<\/a> after this series, reached her century in 79 balls, before moving to 150 just 16 balls later.<\/p>\nShe hit 27 fours and two sixes before being bowled by Sneh Rana for 158 off 98 deliveries.<\/p>\n
It was Healy’s second highest ODI score behind her 170 from 138 balls against England in the 50-over World Cup final in 2022. <\/p>\n
Healy, 35, was aided by team-mate Beth Mooney’s 106 off 84 as Australia posted 409-7 – their highest score in Australia and eighth highest in women’s ODI history. <\/p>\n
“What a ridiculous sport we play that it can kick you down so many times and then give you opportunities like it has today,” said Healy after the match. <\/p>\n
“I’ve hated every milestone match so today was just an opportunity to go out and enjoy it and it was one of the most enjoyable experiences I have had. <\/p>\n
“I was fine this morning and then seeing Lucy Hamilton make her debut made me realise how special and lucky I have been over the last 15 years, to have done it as many times as I have. <\/p>\n
“It’s a nice way to sign off in yellow.”<\/p>\n
In reply, India were bowled out for 224 in 45.1 overs, with Rana making 44 off 74 balls, while leg-spinner Alana King was the pick of Australia’s bowlers with 4-33. <\/p>\n
Australia lead the points-based multi-format series 8-4 having won all three ODIs, after India’s 2-1 win in the three-match T20 series. <\/p>\n
The series concludes with a Test match worth four points at Perth’s WACA ground, meaning Australia can at worst draw the series. <\/p>\n
On the Test match, Healy said: “To put ourselves in a position where we don’t have to win is a great sign for the series, but we are going [to the Test match] to win. <\/p>\n
“Any time this group gets to wear the baggy green is extra special so we are looking forward to that.”<\/p>\n
The Test, which begins on 6 March, is set to be Healy’s last game for Australia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alyssa Healy ended her one-day international career with a stunning 158 as Australia completed a clean sweep of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":452230,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-452750","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/452750","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=452750"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/452750\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/452230"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=452750"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=452750"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=452750"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
