<p>Australia wicketkeeper-batter Alyssa Healy on Sunday broke the record for the highest individual score in a Cricket World Cup final, men's or women's, with a brilliant knock of 170 against England in the final of the ICC Women's ODI Cricket World Cup at Hagley Oval on Sunday.</p>.<p>Healy made her 170 runs off 138 deliveries, hitting 26 fours, in what was undoubtedly one of the greatest ODI knocks of all time. The right-handed batter's efforts meant Australia posted a gigantic 356/5 after being asked to bat first by England.</p>.<p>This was Healy's second successive hundred in the tournament after making 129 against West Indies in the semifinal. Her overall tally now stands at 509 runs, the most by a player in a single edition of the Women's Cricket World Cup.</p>.<p><strong>Also Read | <a href="https://www.deccanherald.com/sports/cricket/womens-world-cup-healy-establishes-new-records-through-dominating-170-in-final-1097208.html">Women's World Cup: Healy establishes new records through dominating 170 in final</a></strong></p>.<p>Healy's brilliance left the cricketing world in awe of her whirlwind exploits and took to Twitter to applaud Healy.</p>.<p>"Well done @ahealy77 on your magnificent hundred in the final of the World Cup, such a fantastic innings (two clap emjois) @AusWomenCricket #CWC22," wrote former Australia cricketer Karen Rolton.</p>.<p>"This is ridiculous from @ahealy77!!
