It's difficult for Australia to set fresh records.

The greatest achievements have long been mastered.

This is the unit that has secured seven Cricket World Cups, along with an additional six T20 titles, and earlier maintained 1,294 days without defeat in 50-over cricket.

The remaining milestones, those for the achievement hunters, are the only things left for a team that has won it all.

It needed as late as Sunday's three-wicket win over India for them to achieve their initial ODI chase over 300, taking back their record for the largest in the women's 50-over format, is, honestly, a testament to the pitchers that have sported the yellow jersey over the past 50 years.

It's difficult for their batsmen to maintain a record if not afforded the chance.

Ultimately, the result of Australia conceding 330 was leader Alyssa Healy receiving a platform to deliver her newest gem.

Then best known as the teenage relative of famous ex Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she made her debut in 2010 after her nation didn't secure either of the T20 or ODI World Cups from the prior year and has experienced everything through 15 championship-filled years since.

A T20 championship victory came three months after her bow and seven global championships have come from 10 efforts across formats.

The tough gloveman was present as well 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 stated recently.

At the subsequent ODI 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.

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

Many contend the reasoning behind final game tension. Different voices suggest with the challenge that comes when facing a record target and a raucous India-supporting crowd of 20,000.

What's definite is this ton was considerably tougher to see coming.

The New Zealand onslaught in 2022 occurred when she led the batting statistics, but this innings followed six innings in India over the past few weeks in which she had been unable to reach 30.

"If you've observed me in the nets, it was a challenging time because it seemed I've had no rhythm whatsoever," stated Healy.

"Yet the moment you take the field, your competitive nature activate and you completely engage with the match."

Healy's competitiveness has always been her major advantage - and a priceless quality in succeeding famous previous leader Meg Lanning.

She was tormented by India's promising player Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, out to the emerging pace bowler in every game, but here that only provided Healy's motivation.

A single was taken off Gaud's first delivery and after that Healy was on her way.

"An opportunity to take the field and lock in a contest with her and just have a bit of fun in that regard, sort of got me going," commented Healy.

She reached fifty in 35 balls - her swiftest at the World Cup - and her hundred in 84 balls as she attacked short-pitched balls, scoring 21 fours and three sixes.

By the time she was removed her side needed 66 more at one run per ball - an unconquered height now demanding an easy conclusion.

"Pursuing 330 is new territory so I'm pleased we have the confidence to achieve that now," added Healy.

"Preferably we shouldn't have to do it again but, if we do, we believe we can do it."

These statements will be the final thing Australia's opponents at this championship want to hear.

Over the past five days a sense they will triumph from any situation has only strengthened - this victory coming after victory over Pakistan by 107 run margin despite struggling at 76-7 at one point.

Next Australia play Bangladesh before a match against traditional opponents England in Indore in ten days, by which point a last-four spot may probably be guaranteed.

It was in the semi-finals they left last year's T20 World Cup in a shock defeat by South Africa - a match Healy couldn't play because of damaged 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 wished she had played despite the injury.

But while she afterwards confessed those physical issues have postponed consideration of ending her career, this World Cup is likely to be her concluding event as leader in one-day cricket and she is yet to win a global event as skipper.

Victory in India would lead her to the peak of her final mountain.
