Women’s World Cup 2022 | I am 32 and I have seen it all, says “grateful” Alyssa Healy

The Australian wicketkeeper-batter was named player of the final for her 170 as well as player of the tournament

Record-breaking Australia wicketkeeper-batter Alyssa Healy, whose sensational 170 set up Southern Stars’ Women’s World Cup triumph on Sunday, feels that she has now “seen it all” having been there and done that on most big days.

Riding on Healy's breathtaking hundred, Australia bossed their way to a record-extending seventh Women's World Cup title with a crushing 71-run win over traditional rivals England, stamping their undisputed dominance in the tournament.

"I'm 32 and I've seen it all. Our team sets out to win events like these and everyone is sort of keen to get out there and do just that, grateful for the opportunity," said Healy, who was named player of the final as well as player of the tournament.

"You probably couldn't have asked for anything more. Proud of the batting unit. We have done some amazing things this whole tournament, so to be able to do it one more time on the biggest stage was impressive," Healy said after the title win.

For Healy, the manner of triumph was beyond her imagination.

"Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I'd do something like that so it is pretty cool." During her epic knock, Healy also became the player with most runs in a single edition of a World Cup. She not only went past New Zealand great Debbie Hockley’s 25-year-old record, but also became the first woman cricketer to score 500 or more runs in a single edition of the tournament.
