Sydney: Australia’s Alyssa Healy smashed an unbeaten 148 off 61 balls to set a new world record for the highest individual score in women’s Twenty20 internationals at the North Sydney Oval on Wednesday.

###

Healy reached her century in just 46 balls, the second fastest in the history, as Australia piled up 226 for two in the final game of the three-match series against Sri Lanka.

###

The 29-year-old opener reached the world record with a six in the penultimate over, eclipsing team mate Meg Lanning’s previous mark of 133 not out set against England in July.

###

This time Lanning was cast in a supporting role as she admired the innings from the non-striker’s end.

###

Having celebrated her 100th T20I two days ago, Healy knocked the stuffing out of the Sri Lanka’s bowling attack and finished with 19 fours and seven sixes.

###

“It was just one of those days where everything seemed to come out of the middle, so I’ll take that,” Healy told Fox Cricket.
