Alyssa Healy leads Australia to third consecutive ICC Women's Championship title

Australia Women's National Cricket Team skipper Alyssa Healy has guided her team to another ICC Women's Championship title ahead of the ICC World Cup 2025. This is the third time that they won the title with the latest one coming under the leadership of Healy following their terrific performances in ODIs last year.

Australia Women's National Cricket Team were right on the money with their performances in the ODIs last year. They dominated the games with the bat and ball and thanks to their series wins against India and New Zealand, they ended the 2024 year on high.

Australia will be one of the strong favorites to win the ICC World Cup 2025

After that, the Alyssa Healy-led side dominated the England Women's National Cricket Team. They won the first four games of the Ashes and retained the trophy. Along with that, they also won the ICC Women's Championship ahead of the World Cup.

With the kind of performances that they have put in, they look like one of the strong favorites to win the ICC World Cup 2025. The event will be played in India in August, and the Australia Women's National Cricket Team skipper, Alyssa Healy, would be keen to add another feather to her hat.

Girls are really pumped about wrapping that up - Alyssa Healy

While talking about winning the ICC Women's Championship, Alyssa Healy said that they have played consistent cricket and are pumped up to win the ICC World Cup 2025. She said that it was important for them to put in good performances. Speaking to ICC, she said:

"We've played some really consistent one-day cricket over the last cycle, so the girls are really pumped about wrapping that up. The last cycle was a really exciting one. Coming down to the last couple of series to see who would win the trophy was really cool.

"For us to put in a good couple of performances in those series and get us over the line was really important, so the girls are really excited about winning this trophy, and hopefully, it's good vibes for the next cycle as well."

Knowing the nature of this cycle and how hotly contested it was, it's a good sign for the ODI World Cup - Alyssa Healy

Alyssa Healy added that winning the ICC Women's Championship is a good sign for a team going into the World Cup. But she was aware of the challenges that they would be facing, adding that they are excited for the tournament.

"Knowing the nature of this cycle and how hotly contested it was, it's a good sign for the ODI World Cup," she added.

"It's really exciting. The group are really buoyed by that as well, to know that yes, we are playing good cricket - but it's a World Cup, and we know that there are going to be a lot of other teams vying for that trophy, so we're excited to get over there and get started."
