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

The highest peaks have already been conquered.

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

The secondary achievements, those for the record chasers, are the only things left for a side that has achieved everything.

It needed until Sunday's victory by three wickets over India for them to complete their first ODI chase over 300, reclaiming their record for the highest in the female 50-over format, is, honestly, a tribute to the bowling attack that have worn canary yellow over the last half-century.

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

In the end, the outcome of Australia conceding 330 was captain Alyssa Healy being given an opportunity to deliver her latest masterpiece.

Then best known as the young family member of renowned former Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she first played in 2010 after her nation couldn't capture either of the T20 or ODI World Cups conducted earlier and has seen it all through 15 trophy-laden years since.

Success in the T20 World Cup happened three months after her bow and seven international trophies have resulted from 10 tries across formats.

The gritty keeper was also there in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final defeat by India momentarily interrupted the winning streak.

That loss "drove us to reevaluate our levels," Healy stated recently.

At the subsequent ODI World Cup in New Zealand, Healy scored 170 against England in the title decider and was declared player of the series. She guaranteed her country would not come up short.

The question of whether this recent magnificent innings exceeded that prior achievement is debatable.

Many contend the case for championship match pressure. Some might respond with the challenge that comes when confronting a historic chase and an enthusiastic Indian fanbase of 20,000.

What is certain is this century was far harder to see coming.

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 occurred when she topped the run-scoring charts, but this knock came after six matches in India over the past few weeks in which she had been unable to reach 30.

"If you've been watching me in training, it was a frustrating experience because it seemed I've had no rhythm whatsoever," said Healy.

"However when you take the field, your fighting spirit activate and you simply focus on the contest."

Healy's fighting spirit has continuously been her major advantage - and a priceless quality in taking over from iconic ex-skipper Meg Lanning.

She was tormented by India's promising player Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, out to the 22-year-old seamer in all three matches, but this time it merely gave Healy's motivation.

A single was taken off Gaud's first delivery and from that point the batsman was in motion.

"An opportunity to go out there and lock in a contest with her and just have a bit of fun in that regard, kind of motivated me," stated Healy.

She reached fifty in 35 pitches - her swiftest at a World Cup - and her ton in 84 balls as she attacked short-pitched balls, scoring 21 fours and three sixes.

By the time she was dismissed the team required another 66 at a run-a-ball - an achievable target now demanding an easy conclusion.

"Pursuing 330 is unfamiliar ground so I am glad we have the assurance to do that now," continued Healy.

"Preferably we shouldn't have to repeat it but, if we do, we are confident we can achieve it."

That comment will be the last rival teams at this tournament should hear.

In recent days a feeling they will win from any position has become more firm - this victory coming after win against Pakistan by 107 run margin despite sitting at 76-7 at a certain moment.

Subsequently Australia meet Bangladesh before a match against longtime competitors England in Indore in ten days, by which point a semi-final place may likely be confirmed.

It was at that stage they were eliminated from last year's T20 World Cup in an unexpected loss by South Africa - a match Healy couldn't play because of torn tissue in her foot as she guided Australia for the first time at a major tournament.

Such is her determination, she subsequently stated she wished she had played despite the injury.

But while she afterwards confessed those physical issues have pushed back consideration of ending her career, this World Cup is expected to be her last as captain in ODI cricket and she is hasn't yet secured a world championship as leader.

Victory in India would lead her to the peak of her final mountain.
