Women's World Cup: Partnerships Were Key; Sutherland Bowled Well, Says Healy
World Cup: Australia captain Alyssa Healy said chasing 331 in 50 overs against India was new territory for her team, adding that stitching crucial partnerships despite cramp worries helped them seal victory in the Women's World Cup.
Healy slammed a magnificent 142 off 107 balls, hitting 21 fours and three sixes, and shared crucial partnerships with Phoebe Litchfield (40), Ellyse Perry (47 not out), and Ashleigh Gardner (45) as they reached 331/7 in 49 overs to win the match by three wickets with six balls to spare.
"Great result. We'll take those two points. To chase down 330 in 50-over game is new territory for us. Hopefully don't have to do it again. Our top order felt like we needed to contribute more. Knowing that we needed to chase big, getting a quick start was crucial. That we were able to maintain the run-rate was cool," said Healy in the post-match presentation on Sunday.
