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

The top summits have long been mastered.

This is the squad that has secured seven Cricket World Cups, in addition to six more T20 titles, and earlier maintained 1,294 days without defeat in 50-over cricket.

The remaining milestones, those for the peak baggers, are all that remain for a team that has achieved everything.

It needed until Sunday's three-wicket win over India for them to complete their first ODI chase exceeding 300, taking back their record for the largest in the women's 50-over format, is, frankly, a tribute to the bowling attack that have worn canary yellow over the past 50 years.

It is hard for their batters to hold a record if not afforded the possibility.

In the end, the consequence of Australia allowing 330 runs was skipper Alyssa Healy being given an opportunity to create her most recent brilliance.

Originally famous as the 19-year-old niece of renowned former Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she made her debut in 2010 after her nation didn't secure either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups held the previous year and has experienced everything through 15 championship-filled years since.

A T20 World Cup win happened three months after her first appearance and seven global championships have resulted from 10 efforts across formats.

The tough gloveman was in attendance in Derby in 2017 when a last-four loss by India momentarily interrupted the run of success.

That loss "pushed us to reconsider our benchmarks," Healy said this week.

At the next 50-over World Cup in New Zealand, Healy scored 170 against England in the title decider and was named player of the tournament. She guaranteed her country would not come up short.

The question of whether this newest brilliant performance topped that previous effort can be debated.

Many contend the reasoning behind championship match pressure. Others can counter with the difficulty that comes when confronting a historic chase and an enthusiastic Indian fanbase of 20,000.

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

The New Zealand onslaught in 2022 happened while she was the highest scorer, but this performance followed six innings in India from the beginning of the previous month in which she had failed to pass 30.

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

"But once you enter the playing area, your competitive instincts take over and you simply focus on the competition."

Healy's competitiveness has always been her major advantage - and an irreplaceable characteristic in replacing 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 every game, but on this occasion it simply offered Healy's motivation.

One run resulted off the bowler's initial ball and from there the right-hander was in motion.

"The possibility to play and engage in competition with her and simply enjoy myself in that aspect, somewhat inspired me," said Healy.

She reached fifty in 35 balls - her swiftest at the World Cup - and her hundred in 84 deliveries while she flogged anything short, striking 21 boundaries and three big hits.

Once she was out Australia required another 66 at one run per ball - a manageable total now demanding an easy conclusion.

"Chasing 330 runs is new territory so I'm pleased we have the assurance to accomplish that now," added Healy.

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

Those words will be the ultimate thing rival teams at this World Cup need to hear.

During the last week a feeling they will win from any position has grown stronger - this victory following win against Pakistan by 107-run victory despite being 76-7 at a certain moment.

Following this Australia face Bangladesh before a meeting with traditional opponents England in Indore in ten days, by which point a semi-final place may well be secure.

During that phase they left last year's T20 World Cup in an unexpected loss by South Africa - a match Healy missed because of damaged tissue in her foot as she captained her nation for the initial instance at a significant event.

Such is her determination, she afterwards commented she regretted not playing with the discomfort.

Yet even as she subsequently acknowledged those injuries have postponed plans to retire, this World Cup is expected to be her final tournament as skipper in one-day cricket and she is still to achieve a world championship as skipper.

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