Australia Women’s cricket team captain Alyssa Healy believes the only challenge that her team has is to prepare themselves against spinners for the upcoming ICC Women’s World Cup. The tournament is set to begin from September 30 in India.
The wicket-keeper batter was at her best, scoring an unbeaten 137 runs off just 85 balls that gave Australia A Women a win in the third and final one-dayer match at Brisbane on Sunday. India A Women, however, won the series by 2-1.
Speaking to Cricket Australia, Healy talked about her concerns in facing the Indian spinners.
“They’ve (India A) got a really spin-heavy attack and we’re going to have to play a lot of that throughout the World Cup as well, a lot of the middle overs will be spin-based,” she said.
With the Women’s World Cup ahead, Australia A coach Dan Marsh praised Healy’s performance and believes she has been in good shape since the pre-season and noticeably against the India A Women team.
“Alyssa batted well today. All pre-season she’s been looking good and it was just nice to see her get some match practice and put that into place heading into India,” Marsh said. “She’ll be really happy with her two weeks (with Australia A), will have a nice little rest at home now and be ready to go to India.”
