Healy Magic Ends ODI Era: Australia Crush India by 185 Runs in Hobart Farewell
Australia Women thrash India Women by 185 runs in 3rd ODI – Complete 3-0 Whitewash! Player of the Match: Alyssa Healy
In a dominant display at Bellerive Oval, Hobart on March 1, 2026, Australia Women crushed India Women by 185 runs in the third and final ODI, sealing a comprehensive 3-0 series whitewash in the multi-format series (with only the Perth Test remaining).
This match marked the emotional farewell of Australian captain and wicketkeeper-batter Alyssa Healy from ODI cricket. She delivered a fairytale ending with a blistering 158 off 98 balls (including 27 fours and 2 sixes), powering Australia to a mammoth 409/7 in 50 overs – their second-highest total in women’s ODIs and a record-breaking performance on home soil.
- Healy’s knock was the highest individual women’s ODI score against India and the highest by an Australian woman in ODIs at home. She reached her 8th ODI century and raced to 150 in just 95 balls (second-fastest in women’s ODIs).
- Beth Mooney starred with an unbeaten 106 off 84 balls, forming key partnerships.
- Georgia Voll contributed 62 off 52 in a solid middle-order show.
India, sent in to field after losing the toss, were bowled out for 224 in 44.2 overs (or restricted in chase; reports confirm 185-run margin).
- Standout for India: Sneh Rana 44, Jemimah Rodrigues 42.
- Australia’s bowling: Alana King took 4/33 to dismantle the chase.
- In a fun twist, Healy even bowled 2 overs (her first in international cricket) for 12 runs to celebrate her farewell!
The win ensured Australia remained unbeatable in the ODI leg of the series, highlighting their supremacy despite India being World Champions in other contexts.
