    If you thought Katy Perry put on a good show, Alyssa Healy is topping the bill now. Here's her first brace of back-to-back sixes from a few overs ago.

  2. Aus 114-0published at 11 overs

    Healy 75 (37 balls), Mooney 37 (30)

    Can she make it four in four? No - she clubs it straight to mid-on.

  3. 6 runs

    Aus 114-0published at 10.5 overs

    And that's a third successive six! This time, over extra cover, the crowd are on their feet and India, frankly, look beaten already.

    This has been a masterclass in T20 batting.

  5. 6 runs

    Aus 108-0published at 10.4 overs

    Healy takes the aerial route against the Air Force officer - launching her third six over long-on, which has Veda Krisnamurthy grasping at thin air on the boundary.

    Next ball, it's six more - this time over long-off!

    What an astonishing innings this is from the Aussie keeper, who has 69 from 35 balls.

  7. Aus 95-0published at 10.1 overs

    Shikha Pandey, the sole seamer, is back - but Mooney uses the pace to slice the ball past backward point for another four.

    This is perfection from an Australian point of view.

  9. How's stat?!published at 07:42 Greenwich Mean Time 8 March 2020

    Healy now has the three fastest fifties of the tournament - the fastest being from 26 balls against Bangladesh.

    151 is the biggest partnership for the Australian women's team and these two set it recently. They could beat that today.

  11. Aus 91-0published at 10 overs

    Healy 57 (33 balls), Mooney 32 (28)

    Australia are threatening to post a massive total here.

    At the halfway point of their innings, their openers are still there, and well set.

    How costly might those early drops be?

    This is what Australia needed, for one of their senior players to stand up like this.

    This is phenomenal batting - she has clubbed the Indian attack from ball one.

  14. 50 runs

    50 for Alyssa Healypublished at 9.2 overs

    Aus 84-0

    Alyssa Healy brings up her half-century, from 30 balls, in the grand manner - lofting Radha over her head for a first-bounce four. She raises her bat in celebration, but looks like she still means business. A century is certainly there for the taking at this rate.

    As someone who has been known to bowl the odd moon ball at a similar pace to Poonam, I'm inclined to say... what's wrong with that?

    Slow left-armer Radha Yadav is coming into the attack.

    I'm not saying Poonam Yadav is excessively slow, but Alyssa Healy just played one of her deliveries from the middle of the wicket.

  17. Aus 79-0published at 9 overs

    Healy 49 (29 overs), Mooney 29 (25)

    Australia keep chipping away with singles, while Poonam is charged with a wide by umpire Ahsan Raza after Mooney misses with a cut shot.

  18. Aus 75-0published at 8.2 overs

    After a single from Healy, Mooney joins in the fun by lifting Poonam over mid-on for four. It's vigorously celebrated by a group of drummers just beyond the boundary.

  19. Aus 70-0published at 8 overs

    Healy 47 (27 balls), Mooney 23 (21)

    Gayakwad, so economical in her first two overs, now has 0-23 after going for 16 from that over. Healy nicks the strike with a single, and is within one hit of another fifty.

  20. 6 runs

    Aus 69-0published at 7.4 overs

    And there we go, Alyssa Healy takes aim over long-on with the first six of the game.

    Next ball, same shot, same result! SIx more!
