It's difficult for the Australian squad to set fresh records.

The top summits have long been mastered.

This is the unit that has won seven Cricket World Cups, along with an additional six T20 titles, and once went over three years undefeated in 50-over cricket.

The alternative records, targeted by the achievement hunters, are all that remain for a squad that has achieved everything.

It needed up to Sunday's three-wicket win over India for them to accomplish their maiden ODI chase above 300, regaining their record for the largest in women's cricket's 50-over format, is, in truth, a compliment to the bowling attack that have sported the yellow jersey over five decades.

It's challenging for their hitters to hold a record if not afforded the chance.

Ultimately, the result of Australia allowing 330 runs was skipper Alyssa Healy receiving a platform to create her latest masterpiece.

Originally famous as the 19-year-old niece of renowned former Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she debuted in 2010 after her nation didn't secure either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups held the previous year and has experienced everything through 15 successful years since.

A T20 World Cup win arrived three months after her bow and seven international trophies have resulted from 10 tries across formats.

The gritty keeper was present as well in Derby in 2017 when a last-four loss by India briefly halted the winning streak.

That loss "pushed us to reevaluate our levels," Healy said this week.

At the subsequent ODI World Cup in New Zealand, Healy scored 170 against England in the championship match and was awarded tournament MVP. She made sure her country would not fall short again.

The question of whether this latest epic knock surpassed that earlier display is debatable.

Many contend the argument supporting championship match pressure. Different voices suggest with the test that comes when confronting a historic chase and a loud pro-India audience of 20,000.

What's definite is this ton was much more difficult to predict.

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 came as she led the batting statistics, but this performance followed six innings in India from the beginning of the previous month in which she had failed to pass 30.

"If you've observed me in training, it was a disappointing period because I feel like my form was missing completely," said Healy.

"However when you take the field, your competitive nature take over and you simply focus on the contest."

Healy's fighting spirit has continuously been her great strength - and a priceless quality in taking over from famous previous leader Meg Lanning.

She was challenged by India's emerging talent Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, out to the 22-year-old seamer in each encounter, but this time it merely gave Healy's inspiration.

A single was taken off the bowler's initial ball and from there the batsman was on her way.

"An opportunity to go out there and engage in competition with her and just have a bit of fun that way, sort of got me going," said Healy.

She reached fifty in 35 balls - her fastest at the World Cup - and her hundred in 84 as she attacked short-pitched balls, hitting 21 fours and three sixes.

Once she was dismissed the team needed 66 more at one run per ball - an unconquered height now needing a comfortable finish.

"To chase 330 is new territory so I am glad we have the belief to do that now," stated Healy further.

"Preferably we shouldn't have to repeat it but, if necessary, we believe we can achieve it."

That comment will be the final thing competing nations at this tournament should hear.

Over the past five days a feeling they will triumph from any situation has become more firm - this success coming after victory over Pakistan by 107 runs despite struggling at 76-7 at a certain moment.

Following this Australia face Bangladesh before an encounter with traditional opponents England in Indore in 10 days, by which point a last-four spot may probably be guaranteed.

During that phase they were eliminated from the prior year's T20 World Cup in a shock defeat by South Africa - a game Healy missed because of torn tissue in her foot as she led her country for the first time at a significant event.

So strong is her resolve, she later said she wanted to have participated through the pain.

But while she afterwards confessed those physical issues have pushed back thoughts of retirement, this championship is anticipated as her final tournament as skipper in 50-over cricket and she is still to achieve a global event as captain.

Triumph in India would take her to the summit of her last major obstacle.
