Skipper Alyssa Healy thanked the cricket gods for an enjoyable farewell as she signed off from the ODI's in style with a blistering 158 that anchored Australia's 185 run-win over world champions India in the third and final match here on Sunday. It was a fairy-tale swansong for the 35-year old, whose 158, combined with Beth Mooney's unbeaten 106, powered Australia to a mammoth 409 for seven. India were bowled out for 224 in 45.1 overs, losing the three match series 0-3. "I just think what a ridiculous sport we play that it can kick you down to so many times and then give you opportunities like it has today," Healy, who was adjudged Player of the Match, said during the post match presentation.
"I've hated every milestone match, so today was just an opportunity to go out and enjoy it. And it was, one of the more enjoyable experiences I've had. So thanks for the cricket gods for that. And yeah, that's a nice way to sign off in the yellow." The wicket-keeper batter also chipped in with the ball, sending down two overs for 12 runs in her final ODI appearance. Healy will bring the curtain down on her illustrious international career after the one-off pink-ball Test in Perth against India from March 6. So which was more fun, scoring 158 or bowling?
