It’s not every day you see a batter in complete control from start to finish, but Alyssa Healy made it look effortless once again. Watching her bat in the Australia vs Bangladesh Women’s World Cup 2025 match felt like witnessing a masterclass in timing and composure. She didn’t just score runs she set the tone, the rhythm, and the confidence that powered Australia into the semi-finals with two league games still left.
As a fan of women’s cricket, I couldn’t help but feel inspired by how Australia continues to dominate with both power and discipline. Let’s take a closer look at how this match unfolded.
Australia vs Bangladesh: A One-Sided Yet Entertaining Contest: Australia vs Bangladesh Women’s World Cup 2025
Thursday’s game in Visakhapatnam turned into a showcase of Australia’s strength and Alyssa Healy’s consistency. Bangladesh, opting to bat first, started with promise. Rubya Haider’s 44 and Sobhana Mostary’s unbeaten 66 helped them reach 198 for 9 a total that looked competitive at one point.
Sobhana’s innings was particularly memorable. Becoming the first Bangladeshi woman to score a half-century against Australia, she played with grit even when wickets kept falling around her. It was one of those performances that quietly earn respect.
But once Australia began their chase, the story flipped entirely.
Alyssa Healy and Phoebe Litchfield’s Flawless Partnership
Chasing 199, Alyssa Healy and Phoebe Litchfield walked in with calm confidence. Within minutes, Healy found her rhythm. Those crisp drives and sweeps reminded everyone why she’s among the most reliable openers in world cricket.
Healy, who had already scored a century against India earlier in the tournament, continued her golden run. This time, she reached 113 not out off just 24.5 overs, while Litchfield supported brilliantly with an unbeaten 84. Their 202-run opening stand showed not just skill but understanding a bond that defines great partnerships.
When Healy started attacking Fariha Trisna and later went after Shorna Akter, it was clear that Bangladesh’s bowlers had no answers. Every boundary was greeted with cheers from the crowd, and the chase wrapped up in under 25 overs.
Australia’s Bowling: Spin That Turned the Game
Before Healy’s heroics, it was the Australian spinners who set up the win. Alana King, Georgia Wareham, and Ash Gardner shared six wickets among them, strangling Bangladesh’s middle order. King’s accuracy and drift made scoring nearly impossible during the middle overs.
It’s easy to overlook the bowlers when a batter scores a stunning century, but their discipline deserves equal credit. Without those crucial breakthroughs, Healy might not have had such an easy platform to attack.
