ODI World Cup: Australia’s regular skipper and wicketkeeper-batter Alyssa Healy said the spin-heavy attacks she is facing in the ongoing series against India ‘A’ is serving as ideal preparation ahead of this year’s Women’s ODI World Cup, set to happen from September 30 to November 2.
Alyssa ramped up her preparations for the World Cup by hitting 91 of just 87 balls – laced with eight fours and three sixes - in the second 50-over game at the Ian Healy Oval on Friday, though it ended in vain as Australia ‘A’ lost by two wickets.
"They've got a really spin-heavy attack and we're going to have to play a lot of that … throughout the World Cup as well, a lot of the middle overs will be spin-biased. For me it's really good practice, a good opportunity to be really decisive with your feet. I felt like it was okay at times today – not where I exactly want it to be – but can improve next game," Alyssa was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au.
