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

The greatest achievements have already been conquered.

We're talking about the team that has won seven Cricket World Cups, along with another six T20 titles, and previously enjoyed nearly four years unbeaten in 50-over cricket.

The alternative records, those for the peak baggers, are what's still available for a squad that has accomplished all there is.

The fact it required up to Sunday's success by three wickets over India for them to accomplish their maiden ODI chase exceeding 300, regaining their record for the highest in the female 50-over format, is, frankly, a tribute to the bowling attack that have worn canary yellow over the past 50 years.

It's challenging for their batsmen to maintain a record if not provided the chance.

Finally, the outcome of Australia conceding 330 was captain Alyssa Healy receiving a chance to produce her most recent brilliance.

Then best known as the young family member of renowned former Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she made her debut in 2010 after her country didn't secure either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups conducted earlier and has experienced everything through 15 successful years since.

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

The tough gloveman was also there in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final defeat by India momentarily interrupted the run of success.

That loss "pushed us to reconsider our benchmarks," Healy stated recently.

At the next 50-over World Cup in New Zealand, Healy scored 170 against England in the championship match and was named player of the tournament. She ensured her country would not fail again.

Whether this latest epic knock exceeded that prior achievement remains open for discussion.

Certain people claim the case for championship match pressure. Different voices suggest with the challenge that comes when confronting a historic chase and an enthusiastic Indian fanbase of 20,000.

What's definite is this hundred was considerably tougher to see coming.

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 occurred when she led the batting statistics, but this knock was preceded by six games in India over the past few weeks in which she had been unable to reach 30.

"For those following me in training, it has been a frustrating experience because I feel like I've had no rhythm whatsoever," said Healy.

"But once you step out on the field, your competitive nature activate and you completely engage with the competition."

Healy's fighting spirit has consistently been her major advantage - and an irreplaceable characteristic in taking over from legendary former captain Meg Lanning.

She was tormented by India's promising player Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, out to the emerging pace bowler in every game, but here that only provided Healy's motivation.

A single was taken off Gaud's first delivery and after that the right-hander was in motion.

"A chance to play and lock in a contest with her and simply enjoy myself in that regard, sort of got me going," commented Healy.

She reached fifty in 35 balls - her swiftest at the global tournament - and her ton in 84 balls as she punished short deliveries, striking 21 boundaries and three big hits.

By the time she was dismissed Australia needed 66 additional runs at a run-a-ball - an unconquered height now requiring a leisurely stroll.

"To chase 330 is uncharted waters so I'm pleased we have the confidence to achieve that now," stated Healy further.

"Hopefully we don't have to repeat it but, should it happen, we are confident we can achieve it."

That comment will be the final thing Australia's opponents at this tournament need to hear.

In recent days a sense they will succeed regardless of circumstances has become more firm - this success following win against Pakistan by 107 run margin despite struggling at 76-7 at one stage.

Next Australia play Bangladesh before a match against old rivals England in Indore in a week and a half, by which point a last-four spot may well be secure.

During that phase they exited the prior year's T20 World Cup in an unexpected loss by South Africa - a game Healy was absent due to ruptured tissue in her foot as she led her country for the initial instance at a major tournament.

Such is her determination, she afterwards commented she wanted to have participated through the pain.

However although she subsequently acknowledged those injuries have postponed thoughts of retirement, this World Cup is likely to be her last as captain in one-day cricket and she is hasn't yet secured a world championship as captain.

Success in India would take her to the summit of her ultimate challenge.
