It's difficult for Australia to set fresh records.

The top summits have already been conquered.

This is the team that has won seven Cricket World Cups, along with six more T20 titles, and once went nearly four years without defeat in 50-over cricket.

The remaining milestones, the ones sought by the achievement hunters, are all that remain for a side that has won it all.

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

It is hard for their batters to maintain a record if never given the possibility.

Ultimately, the consequence of Australia giving up 330 runs was skipper Alyssa Healy being given an opportunity to create her newest gem.

Then best known as the young family member 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 championship victory came three months after her debut and seven world titles have resulted from 10 efforts across formats.

The determined wicketkeeper was also there in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final defeat by India temporarily stopped the run of success.

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

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

The question of whether this newest brilliant performance topped that previous effort is debatable.

Certain people claim the case for championship match pressure. Others can counter with the challenge that comes when facing a record target and a raucous India-supporting crowd of 20,000.

What is certain is this hundred was much more difficult to predict.

The New Zealand onslaught in 2022 occurred when she topped the run-scoring charts, but this innings followed six innings in India since the start of last month in which she had been unable to reach 30.

"If you've been watching me in training, it has been a challenging time because I feel like I lacked timing whatsoever," commented Healy.

"But once you step out on the field, your competitive nature kick in and you completely engage with the contest."

Healy's fighting spirit has continuously been her great strength - and a priceless quality in taking over from legendary former captain Meg Lanning.

She was challenged by India's rising star Kranti Gaud in recent ODI series, dismissed by the young fast bowler in each encounter, but this time it merely gave Healy's inspiration.

A single came off the bowler's initial ball and from there the batsman was on her way.

"A chance to take the field and engage in competition with her and merely enjoy the moment in that regard, sort of got me going," stated Healy.

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

When she was removed the team needed 66 additional runs at one run per ball - an unconquered height now needing a comfortable finish.

"Pursuing 330 is new territory so I am glad we have the assurance to do that now," added Healy.

"Preferably we shouldn't have to repeat it but, should it happen, we are confident we can achieve it."

Those words will be the final thing Australia's opponents at this tournament need to hear.

In recent days a feeling they will win from any position has become more firm - this triumph coming after success over Pakistan by 107 runs despite sitting at 76-7 at one point.

Next Australia play Bangladesh before an encounter with old rivals England in Indore in 10 days, by which point a semi-final place may well be secure.

During that phase they left the previous year's T20 World Cup in a surprising setback by South Africa - a match Healy was absent due to damaged tissue in her foot as she guided Australia for the initial instance at an important competition.

So strong is her resolve, she subsequently stated she wanted to have participated through the pain.

Yet even as she afterwards confessed those physical issues have pushed back consideration of ending her career, this championship is anticipated as her final tournament as skipper in 50-over cricket and she is hasn't yet secured an international tournament as captain.

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