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

The top summits have been successfully scaled.

This is the squad that has claimed seven Cricket World Cups, plus an additional six T20 titles, and earlier maintained 1,294 days unbeaten in 50-over cricket.

The remaining milestones, targeted by the peak baggers, are what's still available for a team that has achieved everything.

That it took until Sunday's success by three wickets over India for them to complete their first ODI chase above 300, reclaiming their record for the largest in the female 50-over format, is, frankly, a compliment to the bowlers that have worn canary yellow over the last half-century.

It's difficult for their batsmen to maintain a record if not provided the opportunity.

Finally, the consequence of Australia giving up 330 runs was leader Alyssa Healy getting a chance to deliver her most recent brilliance.

Then best known as the 19-year-old niece of renowned former Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she first played in 2010 after her nation didn't secure either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups held the previous year and has seen it all through 15 championship-filled years since.

Success in the T20 World Cup came three months after her debut and seven international trophies have followed from 10 tries across formats.

The gritty keeper was also there in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final setback by India momentarily interrupted the run of success.

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

At the next 50-over World Cup in New Zealand, Healy hit 170 against England in the title decider and was declared player of the series. She guaranteed her country would not fail again.

The question of whether this recent magnificent innings exceeded that prior achievement remains open for discussion.

Some will argue the argument supporting championship match pressure. Some might respond with the difficulty that comes when confronting a historic chase and a raucous India-supporting crowd of 20,000.

What's clear is this century was much more difficult to see coming.

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 came as she topped the run-scoring charts, but this innings came after six matches in India from the beginning of the previous month in which she had not exceeded 30 runs.

"For those following me in training, it has been a frustrating experience because I feel like my form was missing whatsoever," commented Healy.

"Yet the moment you take the field, your fighting spirit kick in and you completely engage with the competition."

Healy's competitive nature has always been her key asset - and an irreplaceable characteristic in taking over from famous previous leader Meg Lanning.

She was troubled by India's promising player Kranti Gaud in the previous month's ODI series, fallen to the emerging pace bowler in all three matches, but here that only provided Healy's spark.

A single came off the opening delivery and from there Healy was underway.

"The possibility to play and lock in a contest with her and simply enjoy myself in that regard, kind of motivated me," commented Healy.

She reached fifty in 35 pitches - her quickest at the global tournament - and her hundred in 84 deliveries while she flogged anything short, striking 21 boundaries and three maximums.

Once she was removed her side required another 66 at run per delivery - an unconquered height now requiring a leisurely stroll.

"Pursuing 330 is new territory so I am glad we have the confidence to do that now," added Healy.

"Ideally we won't need to repeat it but, if we do, we are confident we can do it."

Those words will be the final thing Australia's opponents at this World Cup want to hear.

During the last week a feeling they will succeed regardless of circumstances has grown stronger - this success following victory over Pakistan by 107 runs despite being 76-7 at one stage.

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

It was in the semi-finals they were eliminated from last year's T20 World Cup in an unexpected loss by South Africa - an encounter Healy missed because of damaged tissue in her foot as she captained her nation for the inaugural occasion at a major tournament.

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

However although she afterwards confessed those fitness problems have pushed back plans to retire, this championship is likely to be her final tournament as skipper in 50-over cricket and she is still to achieve an international tournament as captain.

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