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

The top summits have already been conquered.

This is the team that has secured seven Cricket World Cups, along with six more T20 titles, and once went over three years undefeated in 50-over cricket.

The secondary achievements, the ones sought by the peak baggers, are what's still available for a team that has accomplished all there is.

It needed until Sunday's victory by three wickets over India for them to achieve their initial ODI chase exceeding 300, taking back their record for the highest in women's cricket's 50-over format, is, in truth, a compliment to the pitchers that have sported the yellow jersey over the last half-century.

It's challenging for their batsmen to hold a record if not afforded the opportunity.

Finally, the consequence of Australia allowing 330 runs was skipper Alyssa Healy getting a platform to deliver her newest gem.

Then best known as the 19-year-old niece of celebrated previous Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she first played in 2010 after her nation couldn't capture either of the T20 or ODI World Cups held the previous year and has witnessed all through 15 championship-filled years since.

A T20 championship victory happened three months after her debut and seven international trophies have followed from 10 attempts across formats.

The tough gloveman was also there in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final defeat by India briefly halted the successful run.

That loss "motivated us to reevaluate our levels," Healy said this week.

At the subsequent ODI 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 fail again.

If this newest brilliant performance topped that previous effort is debatable.

Many contend the case for the pressure of a final. Others can counter with the test that comes when pursuing an unprecedented total and an enthusiastic Indian fanbase of 20,000.

What's definite is this century was considerably tougher to anticipate.

The Christchurch carnage in 2022 occurred when she topped the run-scoring charts, but this innings came after six matches in India over the past few weeks in which she had failed to pass 30.

"If you've observed me in the nets, it was a disappointing period because it seemed my form was missing at all," stated Healy.

"Yet the moment you enter the playing area, your fighting spirit take over and you just lock into the match."

Healy's competitive nature has continuously been her key asset - and an irreplaceable characteristic in taking over from legendary former captain Meg Lanning.

She was troubled by India's emerging talent Kranti Gaud in recent ODI series, out to the 22-year-old seamer in every game, but this time it merely gave Healy's inspiration.

One run resulted off Gaud's first delivery and from there the batsman was underway.

"An opportunity to play and lock in a contest with her and just have a bit of fun in that aspect, kind of motivated me," said Healy.

She reached fifty in 35 deliveries - her quickest at the global tournament - and her hundred in 84 as she flogged anything short, scoring 21 fours and three big hits.

Once she was removed Australia needed 66 additional runs at a run-a-ball - an achievable target now requiring a leisurely stroll.

"To chase 330 is unfamiliar ground so I'm pleased we have the belief to do that now," continued Healy.

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

These statements will be the last competing nations at this championship want to hear.

Over the past five days a belief they will win from any position has only strengthened - this success coming after win against Pakistan by 107 runs despite struggling at 76-7 at one point.

Subsequently Australia meet Bangladesh before a match against longtime competitors England in Indore in 10 days, by which point a semi-final place 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 - a match Healy couldn't play because of torn tissue in her foot as she captained her nation for the first time at a major tournament.

So great is her will, she later said she wanted to have participated with the discomfort.

However although she subsequently acknowledged those physical issues have postponed thoughts of retirement, this championship is expected to be her last as captain in 50-over cricket and she is hasn't yet secured a world championship as skipper.

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