Records broken by Healy
Healy's innings not only helped Australia set a new record but also broke several long-standing ones. Her 158 is now the highest individual score by any player against India in WODIs, surpassing England's Claire Taylor's 150 from 2006.

The only other batter with a hundred in this regard is South Africa's Johmari Logtenberg, who scored an unbeaten 153 against Netherlands in 2007.
