Australian cricketer Mitchell Starc celebrated his wife Alyssa Healy’s 33rd birthday ahead of the ongoing WPL 2023 Eliminator on Friday, March 24.

In an Instagram story shared by her UP Warriorz (UPW) teammate Lauren Bell, Starc can be seen applying cake to Healy's face.

Sharing the post, Bell wrote:

“Happy Birthday, skip @A_Healy.”

Starc decided to spend some quality time with Healy following the conclusion of the three-match ODI series in India, which Australia won 2-1. He is expected to depart for Australia with Healy after the conclusion of WPL 2023.

Starc won the Player of the Match award in the second game, following his five-wicket haul as the Aussies won by 10 wickets. Overall, the left-arm seamer took eight wickets in three matches.

Meanwhile, Alyssa Healy has scored 242 runs in eight T20Is at a strike rate of 139.88, including a couple of half-centuries.

The right-hander is known to bring out her best in crucial matches. She smashed 75 off 39 balls in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup final against India in 2020, which the Aussies won by 85 runs.

The wicketkeeper-batter then followed it up with 170 off 138 balls in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2022 summit clash, which Australia won by 71 runs versus England. She will now look to guide her team to the WPL 2023 final.

Alyssa Healy and Co. face Mumbai Indians

The Alyssa Healy-led UP Warriorz will hope to continue their winning run against Harmanpreet Kaur’s Mumbai Indians (MI) in the WPL 2023 Eliminator at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai on Friday. UPW snapped MI's winning streak with a five-wicket victory in their previous clash.

The Mumbai-based franchise, though, are favorites to qualify for the final. They have won six out of their eight group-stage games.
