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

The top summits have already been conquered.

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

The alternative records, the ones sought by the peak baggers, are the only things left for a squad that has accomplished all there is.

The fact it required up to Sunday's success by three wickets over India for them to accomplish their maiden ODI chase above 300, regaining their record for the largest in women's cricket's 50-over format, is, frankly, a compliment to the bowling attack that have worn canary yellow over the last half-century.

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

Finally, the consequence of Australia conceding 330 was leader Alyssa Healy receiving a chance to create her most recent brilliance.

Then best known as the young family member of famous ex Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she made her debut in 2010 after her country couldn't capture either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups held the previous year and has experienced everything through 15 successful years since.

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

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

That loss "motivated us to reevaluate our levels," Healy commented earlier.

At the next 50-over World Cup in New Zealand, Healy hit 170 against England in the title decider and was awarded tournament MVP. She made sure her country would not fail again.

The question of whether this recent magnificent innings topped that previous effort remains open for discussion.

Certain people claim the reasoning behind final game tension. Some might respond with the challenge that comes when facing a record target and a raucous India-supporting crowd of 20,000.

What's clear is this hundred was far harder to see coming.

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 came as she topped the run-scoring charts, but this innings was preceded by six games in India over the past few weeks in which she had failed to pass 30.

"If you've been watching me in the nets, it has been a frustrating experience because I feel like my form was missing at all," stated Healy.

"But once you step out on the field, your fighting spirit take over and you simply focus on the match."

Healy's fighting spirit has continuously been her great strength - and an irreplaceable characteristic in taking over from iconic ex-skipper Meg Lanning.

She was tormented by India's rising star Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, fallen to the 22-year-old seamer in each encounter, but here that only provided Healy's spark.

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

"An opportunity to play and engage in competition with her and simply enjoy myself in that regard, somewhat inspired me," said Healy.

She got to fifty in 35 pitches - her swiftest at a World Cup - and her hundred in 84 balls as she punished short deliveries, hitting 21 fours and three big hits.

Once she was out her side needed 66 additional runs at one run per ball - an achievable target now requiring a leisurely stroll.

"To chase 330 is new territory so I am glad we have the confidence to accomplish that now," stated Healy further.

"Hopefully we don't have to do it again but, if we do, we believe we can achieve it."

That comment will be the ultimate thing competing nations at this World Cup want to hear.

Over the past five days a sense they will succeed regardless of circumstances has become more firm - this triumph succeeding victory over Pakistan by 107 run margin despite struggling at 76-7 at one stage.

Following this Australia face Bangladesh before a match against longtime competitors England in Indore in ten days, by which point a semi-final place may well be secure.

It was in the semi-finals they left the previous year's T20 World Cup in a surprising setback by South Africa - a game Healy was absent due to ruptured tissue in her foot as she guided Australia for the first time at an important competition.

So great is her will, she afterwards commented she wanted to have participated with the discomfort.

However although she subsequently acknowledged those injuries have delayed thoughts of retirement, this championship is expected to be her concluding event as leader in 50-over cricket and she is yet to win an international tournament as leader.

Success in India would take her to the summit of her final mountain.
