Australia’s Alyssa Healy on Thursday broke the record for scoring the most number of runs by a wicket-keeper at Women’s T20 World Cup.
She achieved the feat against Bangladesh in the ongoing World Cup at Manuka Oval in Canberra.

The right-hand batter Healy broke the record for most dismissals by a keeper at the T20I World Cup and most runs in an innings by a wicket-keeper at the T20I World Cup.
