Recent Form and Milestones (2025–2026)
Mooney’s 2025 was a year of historic "firsts." On February 1, 2025, she became the first Australian woman to score a century in all three international formats after smashing 106 against England in the Women's Ashes Test at the MCG.

Total Runs: 549 runs in 13 innings.
Average: 45.75 | Strike Rate: 136.90.
Highlight: She blasted the first century of WBBL|11 (a 70-ball hundred) and single-handedly steered the Perth Scorchers into the finals with an unbeaten 94 in the Challenger.
2. ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025
During the World Cup in late 2025, Mooney was Australia’s "rescue act."
Pakistan Heroics: She scored a masterful 109 off 114 balls to rescue Australia from a precarious 76/7, leading them to a 107-run victory.
Tournament Stats: She finished the 2025/26 ODI season with a staggering average of 116.50 in series leading up to the knockouts.

Retention: Gujarat Giants retained her for ₹2.5 crore, signaling her role as the foundational pillar of the squad.
