Australia skipper Alyssa Healy has yet again emerged as the star performer for her side as he played a brilliant century knock in the Women's ODI World Cup 2025 match against Bangladesh at Dr YS Rajashekhara Reddy Cricket Stadium in Vishakapatnam on Thursday, October 16. The defending champions continue their unbeaten run with a 10–wicket victory over Bangladesh and became the first team to qualify for the semifinal.

With a 199-run target set by Bangladesh, Australia chased down in 24.5 overs or 151 balls to spare, with Alyssa Healy leading the innings with a scintillating knock of 113 off 77 balls, including 20 fours, and played at an impressive strike rate of 146.75. The Australian skipper formed an unbeaten 202-run opening partnership with Phoebe Litchfield, who scored 84 off 72 balls, to chase down the target with ease.

Earlier, Alana King led the Australian bowling attack with a spell of 2/218 at an economy rate of 1.8 in 10 overs to help the side restrict Bangladesh to a modest total of 198/9 despite fighting a 66-run unbeaten by Sobhana Mostary. Georgia Wareham (2/22), Annabel Sutherland (2/41), and Ashleigh Gardner (2/48) picked two wickets, while Megan Schutt (1/11) chipped in with a crucial wicket.

Another Day, Another Captain's Knock

Following a match-winning 142-run knock against Team India in Vizag, Australia skipper Alyssa Healy continued her purple patch by scoring another century against Bangladesh. Healy displayed her flawless and aggressive strokeplay as she dominated Bangladeshi bowlers, who were clueless and struggled to find a way to contain the Australian skipper.

Alyssa Healy's unbeaten opening partnership with Phoebe Litchfield set the tone for the dominance against the Bangladesh bowling attack. Though Healy was anchoring the innings, Litchfield complemented her brilliantly to build momentum and ensure a smooth chase, helping Australia secure a dominant victory over Bangladesh, who are effectively out of the tournament with their fourth successive loss.

After not having an ideal start to her Women's World Cup 2025 campaign with scores of 19 and 20 against New Zealand and Pakistan, respectively, Alyssa Healy turned her game around with two successive centuries in the tournament.
