Another Healy ton powers Aussies into World Cup semis

Alyssa Healy has completed superb back-to-back centuries to lead her Australian champions into the semi-finals of the World Cup, inspiring them to a merciless 10-wicket trouncing of Bangladesh.

Healy hit a glorious unbeaten 113, coming just four days after her equally brilliant 142 that saw off hosts India at the same Visakhapatnam stadium, this time sharing a magnificent unbroken double-century opening partnership with Phoebe Litchfield (84no) to race to their target of 199 in just 24.5 overs.

Ironically, the supreme professionalism of Thursday's chase as the pair put on 202 came after perhaps Australia's shoddiest display in the field under Healy's stewardship, with the skipper scolding herself in particular for spilling two of the six catches that went down.
