Alyssa Healy Gets Crucial Guard of Honour in Final ODI

India Honor Alyssa Healy in Emotional Final ODI at Hobart

The India women's national cricket team paid tribute to Australia captain Alyssa Healy with a heartfelt guard of honour as she walked out to bat in her final ODI at Bellerive Oval on March 1, 2026. The farewell moment drew warm applause from the Hobart crowd, with both teams coming together to celebrate Healy’s remarkable career. India captain Harmanpreet Kaur led the tribute, acknowledging Healy’s immense contribution to women’s cricket over nearly two decades.

The guard of honour came despite India suffering a 3-0 ODI series whitewash, underlining the dominance of the Australia women's national cricket team in the 50-over format.

Australia Post Mammoth Total in Healy’s Farewell Match

Australia delivered a commanding performance in the third ODI, posting 409 for 7 — their second-highest total against India in women’s ODI history. Healy marked her final ODI appearance with a spectacular 158, while Beth Mooney remained unbeaten on 106. Georgia Voll added 62, helping Australia build a total that proved far beyond India’s reach.

Healy’s innings stood as the crowning moment of her ODI career, showcasing the depth and dominance of Australian women’s cricket ahead of the upcoming one-off Test against India beginning March 6 in Perth.

India, chasing 410, were bowled out for 224, falling short by 185 runs to complete a tough ODI tour.

Focus Shifts to One-Off Test in Perth

With the ODI series concluded, both teams now turn their attention to a rare women’s Test match in Perth. For India, Healy’s farewell has added extra motivation to respond strongly in the red-ball format and end the tour on a competitive note.

The ODI series once again highlighted the gap between the two sides in the 50-over game, while also providing valuable experience for India’s emerging players against the world’s top-ranked team.
