Skipper Alyssa Healy led from the front with a masterful 142 as Australia pulled off a record chase of 331 to beat India by three wickets in their Women's World Cup group match, in Vishakhapatnam on Sunday. Vice-captain Smriti Mandhana became the first player in women's ODIs to score 1,000 runs in a calendar year as India piled up 330 after Australia opted to bowl. In pursuit of the highest target ever successfully chased in women's ODI history, Healy set the tone with her sixth career hundred and first as captain, reaching the milestone off 84 balls. It was also her first ODI ton since 2022.
