With her final international white-ball appearance now behind her, Alyssa Healy leaves a career that stretched across formats, World Cups and defining moments. From record-breaking innings to glovework that set new standards, her impact is best understood through the numbers.

Here's a statistical look at her journey.

One-Day Internationals

ODIs was easily Healy's best format of the three, with a significant upgrade in her performances in World Cups, the 170 in the World Cup 2022 final being a major highlight.

3420 runs by Healy as a designated wicketkeeper is the second-most in Women's ODIs, only after 3813 by England's Sarah Taylor. Healy leads the hundreds count for wicketkeepers (7), followed by Taylor (6); no other keeper has more than two.

Overall, Healy aggregated 3777 runs in ODIs at an average of 37.02, of which 3387 came as an opener at 43.42, and 390 from 33 innings at 16.25 from No.3 or lower. Healy marked the move at the top of the order as "a real turning point" of her career, adding she "didn't feel comfortable probably for the first eight years of career" on the Willow Talk podcast recently. Having made her ODI and T20I debuts in February 2010, she was promoted as a full-time opener in 2017, and held onto that spot thereafter.

100.69 - Healy's strike-rate of 100.69 in ODIs is the joint-highest among the 54 batters with a minimum of 2000 runs in Women's ODIs, alongside Chloe Tryon. Each of her eight ODI hundreds came at a strike-rate of 100; only Meg Lanning (11), Nat Sciver-Brunt and Smriti Mandhana have more tons at over run-a-ball.

5 - Healy is one of the only five players with a double of 2000-plus runs (3420) and 100-plus dismissals (119) as a wicketkeeper in Women's ODIs. Sarah Taylor (3813, 136), Trisha Chetty (2661, 182), Rebecca Rolls (2144, 133) and Amy Jones (2220, 105) are the others to have achieved this feat.

2 - Healy is one of the only two wicketkeepers with hundreds in consecutive ODI innings, having got 142 and 113* against India and Bangladesh respectively in Visakhapatnam during the Women's ODI World Cup 2025. Amy Jones was the first to do that, with scores of 122 and 129 against the West Indies at Derby and Leicester a few months earlier.

2 - Healy has two of the only three hundreds registered by a wicketkeeper-captain in Women's ODIs - the aforementioned knocks of 142 and 113* during the 2025 World Cup. Bangladesh's Nigar Sultana is the only other wicketkeeper-captain with a century in the format, having scored 101 against Thailand Women in Lahore in April 2025. Healy's 142 against India in fact, is the second-highest score for a wicketkeeper captain in all ODIs - Men's or Women's - only behind AB de Villiers' 149 against West Indies in Johannesburg in 2015.

One of the other key aspects of Healy's ODI career is that she was equally destructive while batting first or in a run-chase, with almost identical averages and strike-rates.

158 - Healy signed off her ODI career with a stroke-filled 158 off 98 in her final outing against India at the Bellerive Oval, Hobart on Sunday (March 1), which is now the highest score for anyone in her final ODI outing, surpassing 153* by South Africa's Johmari Logtenberg against Netherlands at Deventer in August 2007.

T20 Internationals

126 - Healy is the only wicketkeeper with 100-plus victims in Women's T20Is, well clear of Amy Jones' 90. Her equal split of 63 catches and 63 stumpings places her at the top on both those counts.

148* scored by Healy against Sri Lanka Women at North Sydney in 2019 is the highest by a designated wicketkeeper in the format. It's fifth-highest for any batter, and the highest among those from full-member teams, followed by 133* by Meg Lanning against England at Chelmsford in 2019. The overall list is headed by Argentina's Lucia Taylor, who got 169 against Chile at Buenos Aires in 2023.

Healy struck 19 fours and seven sixes during that knock - leading both those counts among wicketkeepers.

46 balls taken by Healy to get to her hundred during the aforementioned knock also made it the second-fastest ton in Women's T20Is, only behind 38 balls taken by West Indies' Deandra Dottin against South Africa in the Women's T20 WC 2010 opener at St. Kitts, Basseterre.

Much like ODIs, Healy's numbers had an upsurge when she was promoted as an opener in T20Is.

Partnership aggregates

2720 runs accumulated by Healy and Beth Mooney together is the second-most for any pair (any wicket) in Women's T20Is, only behind 3216 between Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma. Both these pairs boast four century stands, the second-most among opening pairs after six between UAE's Esha Oza and Theertha Satish. Of the nine opening pairs with a 1000-plus aggregate in the format, Healy and Mooney's scoring rate of 7.87 is only bettered by Mandhana and Shafali.

ODI World Cup

170 - Healy's blistering 170 off 138 against England in Christchurch in 2022 is the highest individual score in an ODI World Cup final - Men's or Women's - followed by Adam Gilchrist's 149 against Sri Lanka at Bridgetown, Barbados in 2007. Healy finished the tournament with 509 runs - a record for a single edition at the time - until Laura Wolvaardt (571) surpassed it in 2025.

Rachael Haynes' 497 in 2022 ranks third in this list, and the two added 671 as a pair en route Australia's seventh World Cup title - which remains the record partnership aggregate in a single edition - followed by 497 between Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal in 2025.

906 - Overall, Healy amassed 906 runs in the Women's ODI World Cup, comfortably the highest among wicketkeepers, followed by Sarah Taylor's 763. These two are the only ones with hundreds among wicketkeepers in the tournament's history, the former scoring four while Taylor got one. Overall, Healy's four hundreds is the joint second-most in World Cups, alongside Suzie Bates, Janette Brittin and Charlotte Edwards, and only behind Nat Sciver-Brunt (5).

2 - Healy's 170 in the 2022 World Cup final was preceded by 129 in the semis against the West Indies in Wellington, making her the first cricketer to register a hundred in the semifinal and the final of the same World Cup edition (Men's or Women's). Laura Wolvaardt replicated that last year with scores of 169 and 101 in the semis (against England) and the final (against India) respectively.

T20 World Cup

6 - Healy won six Women's T20 World Cup finals as a player (2010, 2012, 2014, 2018, 2020 and 2023), the most for anyone, followed by five each for her long-time teammates Meg Lanning and Ellyse Perry. Overall, Healy played in seven finals followed by six each for Lanning and Perry - again the most for anyone - all three having featured in the runners-up finish in 2016.

1008 - The right-hander totalled 1008 runs in T20 World Cups, third most after Suzie Bates (1216) and Stafanie Taylor (1014). Among the 83 players who have scored at least 150 runs in the competition's history, Healy boasts the highest strike-rate (129.39). 916 of her 1008 runs came as a designated wicketkeeper, well clear of the next best 541 by Sarah Taylor.

42 - Healy played in 42 T20 World Cup matches, the joint second-most alongside Suzie Bates, and only behind Perry (47).

7 - Healy won seven Player of the Match awards in the T20 World Cup, again joint-second alongside Charlotte Edwards and only one less than Suzie Bates.

32 - The wicketkeeper accounted for 32 dismissals in World Cups - 15 catches and 17 stumpings - the highest on all counts. Trisha Chetty and Taniya Bhatia rank second with 21 dismissals each.

Across formats

6472 - Heading into her farewell Test, Healy has 6472 international runs with seven hundreds from 269 appearances as a designated wicketkeeper - the highest on all three fronts among those who donned the gloves.

266 dismissals as a wicketkeeper for Healy puts her at the top in this list too, followed by Chetty (257), Taylor (227) and Jones (214). Her tally of 163 catches is only exceeded by Chetty's 175, while Taylor leads the way for stumpings (104 - only one more than Healy).
