Series Overview
The 2022 ICC Women's Cricket World Cup, hosted in New Zealand, produced one of the greatest individual innings in Women's World Cup history. Australia's wicketkeeper Alyssa Healy walked to the crease in the Hagley Oval final and proceeded to dismantle England's bowling with breathtaking power and precision. Her 170 off 138 balls — the highest score ever recorded by any batter, male or female, in a World Cup final — transformed an already strong Australian total into something virtually unchaseable. Australia posted 356/5 in their 50 overs. England's Nat Sciver provided one of cricket's most remarkable losing performances: an unbeaten 148 of the highest quality, playing almost without support as wickets fell around her. England reached 285 all out — a total that would have won most finals — but it was 71 runs short of Australia's imposing mark. Australia's seventh Women's ODI World Cup title confirmed their position as the most decorated team in women's cricket history. Healy, who had accumulated 509 runs across the tournament at a strike rate that left bowlers powerless, was the undisputed Player of the Tournament. Her 170 remains etched in cricket history as one of the all-time great World Cup innings.
