Alyssa Healy’s fireworks ended Harmanpreet Kaur & Co’s dream at MCG

Alyssa Healy’s fireworks ended Harmanpreet Kaur & Co’s dream at MCG

Published by Webster

It was one of the landmark days in women’s cricket history as a packed Melbourne Cricket Ground watched the home team outclassing Harmanpreet Kaur’s side by 85 runs. Alyssa Healy was the star of the show with a 39-ball 75 and by a bizarre coincidence the Australian wicket-keeper batter took the field for her country for the last time on the same day six years later – leading her team to victory in a Test match at Perth against the same team. The final was played just days before the world shut down on account of the Covid-19 pandemic, hence it remained in the fans’ consciousness for a long time with no sport for quite some time.
