Australia’s captain Alyssa Healy is proving that age is just a number. At 35, she’s playing the best cricket of her career, delivering one breathtaking performance after another at the 2025 ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup. After guiding her team to the highest-ever successful ODI chase against India just days ago, Healy has now backed it up with another record-breaking century — this time against Bangladesh in Vizag.
Healy’s Blistering 113* Powers Australia to a 10-Wicket Win
Facing a target of 199 after being put in to bowl first, Australia cruised to victory without losing a single wicket — thanks to Healy’s unbeaten 113 off just 77 balls. Her innings featured 20 boundaries and came at a strike rate of nearly 147, completely dismantling the Bangladeshi attack and helping Australia leap to the top of the World Cup standings.
This century wasn’t just another brilliant knock. It was historic. With this innings, Healy now holds the record for the most centuries by an Australian woman in World Cup history, overtaking legends like Meg Lanning and Karen Rolton.

Back-to-Back Centuries in Different Editions — A World First
Healy’s ton against Bangladesh follows her 142 against India just four days earlier — making her the first player ever to hit back-to-back centuries in two different Women’s World Cup editions. She had previously done the same in 2022, scoring 129 against West Indies and a match-winning 170 against England in the final.
Back-to-Back World Cup Centuries:
- Debbie Hockley (1997): 100* vs SL & 100 vs WI
- Alyssa Healy (2022): 129 vs WI & 170 vs ENG
- Alyssa Healy (2025): 142 vs IND & 113* vs BAN
What’s more, Healy has now joined England’s Nat Sciver-Brunt as one of only two players to score multiple centuries in multiple Women’s World Cup editions.
Players with Multiple Centuries in Multiple World Cups:
- Nat Sciver-Brunt – 2 in 2017, 2 in 2022
- Alyssa Healy – 2 in 2022, 2 in 2025
She currently sits second on the all-time list for most Women’s World Cup centuries, with only Sciver-Brunt (5) ahead of her. Given her red-hot form, Healy is well within reach of overtaking the English star before the tournament ends.
Most Centuries in Women’s World Cup History:
