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

The top summits have long been mastered.

We're talking about the team that has claimed seven Cricket World Cups, in addition to an additional six T20 titles, and previously enjoyed nearly four years unbeaten in 50-over cricket.

The alternative records, those for the achievement hunters, are the only things left for a side that has won it all.

It needed as late as Sunday's three-wicket win over India for them to complete their first ODI chase exceeding 300, taking back their record for the biggest in the women's 50-over format, is, honestly, a testament to the bowlers that have worn canary yellow over the past 50 years.

It's challenging for their batsmen to possess a record if never given the possibility.

Finally, the consequence of Australia giving up 330 runs was leader Alyssa Healy being given an opportunity to deliver her most recent brilliance.

Originally famous as the teenage relative of famous ex Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she first played in 2010 after her nation failed to win either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups from the prior 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 come from 10 attempts across formats.

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

That loss "motivated us to reconsider our benchmarks," Healy stated recently.

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

If this newest brilliant performance surpassed that earlier display can be debated.

Many contend the argument supporting the pressure of a final. Some might respond with the test that comes when pursuing an unprecedented total and a loud pro-India audience of 20,000.

What's clear is this ton was considerably tougher to anticipate.

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 occurred when she topped the run-scoring charts, but this innings came after six matches in India since the start of last month in which she had not exceeded 30 runs.

"If you've observed me in practice sessions, it was a frustrating experience because it appeared I've had no rhythm at all," stated Healy.

"But once you enter the playing area, your fighting spirit kick in and you simply focus on the competition."

Healy's competitive nature has always been her major advantage - and an invaluable trait in succeeding iconic ex-skipper Meg Lanning.

She was challenged by India's rising star Kranti Gaud in recent ODI series, out to the emerging pace bowler in each encounter, but here that only provided Healy's spark.

A single was taken off the bowler's initial ball and from there the right-hander was in motion.

"A chance to take the field and face the challenge with her and merely enjoy the moment in that aspect, kind of motivated me," stated Healy.

She achieved fifty in 35 pitches - her swiftest at the global tournament - and her ton in 84 as she flogged anything short, hitting 21 fours and three sixes.

Once she was removed Australia needed 66 additional runs at run per delivery - an unconquered height now needing a comfortable finish.

"Chasing 330 runs is new territory so I am glad we have the assurance to achieve that now," stated Healy further.

"Ideally we won't need to do it another time but, should it happen, we are confident we can succeed."

Those words will be the final thing competing nations at this World Cup need to hear.

During the last week a feeling they will succeed regardless of circumstances has become more firm - this triumph following success over Pakistan by 107 run margin despite sitting at 76-7 at a certain moment.

Next Australia play Bangladesh before a match against longtime competitors England in Indore in a week and a half, by which point a semi-final place may likely be confirmed.

It was in the semi-finals they left last year's T20 World Cup in a shock defeat by South Africa - a game Healy was absent due to ruptured tissue in her foot as she captained her nation for the first time 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 physical issues have delayed consideration of ending her career, this tournament is anticipated as her last as captain in one-day cricket and she is yet to win a world championship as leader.

Victory in India would bring her to the top of her last major obstacle.
