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

The top summits have already been conquered.

This is the squad that has claimed seven Cricket World Cups, along with another six T20 titles, and once went over three years unbeaten in 50-over cricket.

The alternative records, the ones sought by the record chasers, are what's still available for a side that has accomplished all there is.

That it took up to Sunday's victory by three wickets over India for them to accomplish their maiden ODI chase above 300, taking back their record for the largest in the women's 50-over format, is, frankly, a tribute to the bowlers that have represented Australia over five decades.

It is hard for their batsmen to hold a record if not afforded the chance.

In the end, the consequence of Australia conceding 330 was captain Alyssa Healy getting a chance to create her most recent brilliance.

Then best known as the 19-year-old niece of celebrated previous Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she debuted in 2010 after Australia couldn't capture either of the T20 or ODI World Cups held the previous year and has experienced everything through 15 successful years since.

A T20 championship victory happened three months after her debut and seven world titles have resulted from 10 efforts across formats.

The tough gloveman was present as well in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final defeat by India momentarily interrupted the winning streak.

That loss "pushed us to rethink our standards," Healy said this week.

At the following one-day championship in New Zealand, Healy hit 170 against England in the final and was declared player of the series. She ensured her country would not fail again.

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

Many contend the reasoning behind the pressure of a final. Different voices suggest with the test that comes when pursuing an unprecedented total and an enthusiastic Indian fanbase of 20,000.

What's definite is this hundred was far harder to anticipate.

The Christchurch carnage in 2022 came as she led the batting statistics, but this knock was preceded by six games in India from the beginning of the previous month in which she had been unable to reach 30.

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

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

Healy's fighting spirit has always been her key asset - and an invaluable trait in taking over from iconic ex-skipper Meg Lanning.

She was tormented by India's emerging talent Kranti Gaud in recent ODI series, fallen to the emerging pace bowler in all three matches, but this time it merely gave Healy's spark.

One run resulted off the opening delivery and after that the right-hander was in motion.

"An opportunity to take the field and face the challenge with her and just have a bit of fun that way, kind of motivated me," commented Healy.

She got to fifty in 35 pitches - her fastest at the World Cup - and her hundred in 84 as she attacked short-pitched balls, scoring 21 fours and three maximums.

By the time she was removed Australia required another 66 at one run per ball - a manageable total now needing a comfortable finish.

"To chase 330 is new territory so I'm happy we have the assurance to achieve that now," stated Healy further.

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

Those words will be the last rival teams at this World Cup should hear.

Over the past five days a feeling they will succeed regardless of circumstances has grown stronger - this success coming after success over Pakistan by 107 run margin despite sitting at 76-7 at one stage.

Next Australia play Bangladesh before an encounter with old rivals England in Indore in a week and a half, by which point a semi-final berth may probably be guaranteed.

During that phase they were eliminated from the previous year's T20 World Cup in an unexpected loss by South Africa - a match Healy was absent due to damaged tissue in her foot as she guided Australia for the initial instance at a significant event.

So great is her will, she later said she regretted not playing with the discomfort.

Yet even as she later admitted those fitness problems have postponed consideration of ending her career, this World Cup is anticipated as her final tournament as skipper in 50-over cricket and she is still to achieve a global event as skipper.

Success in India would bring her to the top of her final mountain.
