It's difficult for Australia to set fresh records.

The top summits have long been mastered.

We're talking about the unit that has claimed seven Cricket World Cups, along with another six T20 titles, and once went nearly four years undefeated in 50-over cricket.

The remaining milestones, targeted by the record chasers, are all that remain for a side that has accomplished all there is.

That it took until Sunday's victory by three wickets over India for them to achieve their initial ODI chase above 300, taking back their record for the highest in women's cricket's 50-over format, is, in truth, a compliment to the bowling attack that have represented Australia over five decades.

It's difficult for their hitters to maintain a record if not afforded the possibility.

Finally, the consequence of Australia conceding 330 was skipper Alyssa Healy receiving an opportunity to deliver her most recent brilliance.

Originally famous as the young family member of celebrated previous Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she made her debut in 2010 after her country didn't secure either of the T20 or ODI World Cups conducted earlier and has seen it all through 15 successful years since.

A T20 World Cup win came three months after her bow and seven world titles have come from 10 tries across formats.

The gritty keeper was present as well in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final defeat by India briefly halted the run of success.

That loss "pushed us to rethink our standards," Healy stated recently.

At the following one-day championship in New Zealand, Healy made 170 against England in the final and was named player of the tournament. She guaranteed her country would not fall short again.

Whether this recent magnificent innings surpassed that earlier display remains open for discussion.

Some will argue the case for final game tension. Different voices suggest with the test that comes when confronting a historic chase and an enthusiastic Indian fanbase of 20,000.

What's definite is this ton was far harder to predict.

The New Zealand onslaught in 2022 came as she led the batting statistics, but this innings was preceded by six games in India since the start of last month in which she had been unable to reach 30.

"For those following me in training, it's been a disappointing period because I feel like my form was missing at all," commented Healy.

"However when you step out on the field, your fighting spirit activate and you just lock into the competition."

Healy's fighting spirit has always been her key asset - and a priceless quality in taking over from famous previous leader Meg Lanning.

She was tormented by India's emerging talent Kranti Gaud in recent ODI series, dismissed by the 22-year-old seamer in every game, but here that only provided Healy's spark.

A single came off the bowler's initial ball and after that the right-hander was on her way.

"A chance to take the field and engage in competition with her and just have a bit of fun in that regard, kind of motivated me," commented Healy.

She achieved fifty in 35 balls - her quickest at a World Cup - and her century in 84 as she flogged anything short, striking 21 boundaries and three sixes.

When she was out Australia required another 66 at run per delivery - an unconquered height now demanding an easy conclusion.

"To chase 330 is unfamiliar ground so I'm pleased we have the confidence to do that now," added Healy.

"Ideally we won't need to repeat it but, if necessary, we know we can achieve it."

Those words will be the last competing nations at this championship want to hear.

During the last week a belief they will succeed regardless of circumstances has grown stronger - this victory succeeding victory over Pakistan by 107 runs despite being 76-7 at a certain moment.

Next Australia play Bangladesh before a match against old rivals England in Indore in 10 days, by which point a semi-final berth may well be secure.

It was at that stage they exited last year's T20 World Cup in a shock defeat by South Africa - a match Healy was absent due to ruptured tissue in her foot as she guided Australia for the first time at a major tournament.

So great is her will, she subsequently stated she wished she had played despite the injury.

But while she afterwards confessed those fitness problems have postponed plans to retire, this tournament is expected to be her final tournament as skipper in ODI cricket and she is hasn't yet secured a global event as leader.

Victory in India would bring her to the top of her ultimate challenge.
