Alyssa Healy is a giant of the game. Always was and always will be and make no mistake, still very much is. Yes, she floundered as captain in the decisive semi-final clash against the Indian side and resultantly, the team she would have most loved to beat punched ahead, although she still produced firecrackers from her bat. Against the very Harmanpreet Kaur-led Indian side, she had produced a damaging hundred - that indomitable 142 in Vizag.
Moreover, lest it not be forgotten, she also struck a cracker of an unbeaten century against Bangladesh in the game preceding the semi-final against India, held at Navi Mumbai's DY Patil Stadium. That being said, so it is fair to say that in this very ODI World Cup, which still has a game to be played, Healy left an indelible mark and while that is for all to see given how exhausting bowlers did seem, the Gold Coast-born golden jersey colour-adorning cricketer with a heart of gold has left, over the years, a fine impact in women's ICC WC games.

Alyssa Healy's highest score in ODI World Cup contests
It has been 170, which was struck a few seasons ago. This came against Australia's arch-rivals, England in 2022.
While that particular knock was an assault waged against, arguably speaking, the best bowling side in women's cricket, Healy also destroyed the Windies women's team in that very year itself, striking 129 off just 107 against a visibly insipid and hapless-looking Caribbean side.
Moreover, Australia's incumbent captain in ODI's, has struck 2 centuries in Women's ODI World Cup matches and 3 fifties.
