Alyssa Healy is currently being encouraged to elevate herself in the batting order as she prepares for the final match of her international cricket career. As Australia leads in their day-night Test against India at the WACA in Perth, Healy has made an initial contribution of 13 runs during the first innings when Australia scored a strong total of 323. Currently, India finds itself in a precarious position at 6-105 in their second innings, needing 20 more runs to push Australia to bat again.

Going into the third day of the Test, the focus is on the Indian team’s overnight batters, Pratika Rawal and Sneh Rana, who face a daunting task to prevent Australia from wrapping up the match and clinching victory. The anticipation around Healy's potential last appearance at the crease is palpable, as it would mark a significant moment in her career. While the Australian team is confident in their ability to secure a win, Healy's reluctance to push herself to the opening position in the batting order could impact her chances of batting again before her farewell.

Healy's contribution has been overshadowed by an impressive performance from all-rounder Annabel Sutherland who has played a pivotal role, putting Australia in a commanding position. As the match progresses, there is speculation on whether Healy will seize the opportunity to promote herself in the batting lineup, and whether she will make her final innings memorable in what is a historic climax to her illustrious cricket career.
