Can Alyssa Healy Carry Australia to Another World Cup Title?

Oct 17, 2025 - 16:00

Australia has found a wicket-eater in Alyssa Healy, whose scorching figure has reignited the World Cup campaign. The opener scored two hundred consecutive centuries to lead her country to the semi-finals in a resounding 10-wicket win against Bangladesh. The defending champions now appear unbeatable, and the question that prevails in cricketing circles is—can Healy take them all the way back?

The stunning partnership between Healy and Phoebe Litchfield produced a total of 202 runs without a single wicket fall, with Healy making 113 off only 77 balls and Litchfield making 84. This was the most successful run chase with no wicket loss in the history of the Women’s World Cup. This brutal productivity did not focus only on batting ability; it also focused on psychological stamina and steadiness.

The bowling unit, under the supervision of Alana King (2 for 18) and Georgia Wareham (2 for 22), was under the entire control in spite of six dropped catches. King’s four maidens in her 10-over spell indicated the team’s discipline, and Annabel Sutherland maintained her good form to reach the top of the wicket list in the tournament.

Bangladesh demonstrated with Sobhana Mostary (66 3) and Rubya Haider (44) against the champions, but their 1989 was never enough. The late 28-run kickoff the tail could not get them up either.

With Healy’s shape still ascending, Australia will be in the semi-final with England as the definite favourites. However, there are still some small fielding failures that should be addressed, a note that even a giant can make some slips. Australia is now looking good in defending its title, and with Healy having two centuries in a row and unparalleled supremacy in the powerplay, it is all set to defend its title.

With this, Healy might not only drive Australia to another title but also carve a mark on her name as one of the greatest performers in the history of the World Cup for women in the field of cricket.
