Australia's grand old guard of Alyssa Healy and Ellyse Perry have seen the champions across the line under the lights at Visakhapatnam in a dramatic record-breaking chase that toppled hosts India at the World Cup.
Forced to pursue 330 for an unprecedented triumph, opener Healy led superlatively from the front with 142, her sixth ODI hundred, her first as captain and the biggest innings of the tournament as Australia edged home by three wickets in a Sunday special.
When it came down to a nervy denouement, Healy's evergreen pal Perry, who'd earlier had to retire with cramp, re-emerged and proved the rock in the penultimate over, hitting the straight driven six from Sneh Rana to take the champions to 7-331 and seal a classic victory with six balls remaining.
