Alyssa Healy bowed out of ODI cricket with the second-highest across-gender individual score by anyone in their last innings.
Alyssa Healy bows out in a blaze
Australia captain Healy got a guard of honour when she stepped out to bat at Hobart after Harmanpreet Kaur won the toss and opted to field. She took 49 balls for her first fifty but only 30 more for her second, and a ridiculous 16 for her third.
When she finally fell, it was to a tired-looking attempted reverse sweep off Sneh Rana that she did not properly complete and was bowled. Her 158 took a mere 98 balls, and included 27 fours and two sixes.

With Beth Mooney smashing an 84-ball 106 not out, the hosts amassed 409-7, the highest women’s ODI total on Australian soil as Shree Charani (10-0-106-2) became the first Indian to concede a hundred runs in an ODI.
Healy’s astonishing career reads 3,777 runs at 37.02 and a strike rate of 101. Among batters to have scored at quicker than a run a ball, no one else has even 2,500 runs.
Healy’s 158 is also the second-highest individual score for anyone in their last ODI. She broke Johmari Logtenberg’s long-standing record of 153 not out in women’s ODIs but fell just short of James Marshall’s 161.

Note:
- Max O’Dowd is the only other batter to have scored 150 in his last ODI (158 not out against Scotland Men, Dundee 2025), but he is likely to play again.
- Barring active cricketers (Kathryn Bryce, Hayley Matthews, Mooney) no one else scored a hundred in their last women’s ODI.
