The Australian women’s cricket team etched their name into the record books on Saturday, September 20, by becoming the first side to cross the 400-run mark against India in a Women’s ODI. In the third and final ODI of the series at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, Alyssa Healy won the toss and chose to bat first. Her decision paid off handsomely as Australia piled up a monumental 412/10 in 47.5 overs, powered by Beth Mooney’s breathtaking 138.
This effort shattered the previous highest total against India in ODIs — 371/8 in Brisbane on December 8, 2024, also set by the Aussies. The innings not only highlighted Australia’s batting depth but also exposed India’s bowling vulnerabilities in crunch contests.
