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

The top summits have been successfully scaled.

This is the unit that has won seven Cricket World Cups, plus an additional six T20 titles, and earlier maintained over three years undefeated in 50-over cricket.

The remaining milestones, those for the peak baggers, are the only things left for a squad that has accomplished all there is.

It needed up to Sunday's victory by three wickets over India for them to achieve their initial ODI chase over 300, regaining their record for the highest in women's cricket's 50-over format, is, frankly, a compliment to the bowling attack that have sported the yellow jersey over the last half-century.

It's difficult for their hitters to possess a record if not provided the chance.

Finally, the consequence of Australia conceding 330 was leader Alyssa Healy receiving an opportunity to produce her latest masterpiece.

Then best known as the 19-year-old niece of famous ex Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she debuted in 2010 after her country couldn't capture either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups conducted earlier and has witnessed all through 15 successful years since.

Success in the T20 World Cup arrived three months after her first appearance and seven world titles have followed from 10 tries across formats.

The determined wicketkeeper was in attendance in Derby in 2017 when a last-four loss by India temporarily stopped the successful run.

That loss "motivated us to rethink our standards," Healy said this week.

At the next 50-over World Cup in New Zealand, Healy scored 170 against England in the title decider and was awarded tournament MVP. She ensured her country would not come up short.

Whether this recent magnificent innings surpassed that earlier display can be debated.

Many contend the reasoning behind the pressure of a final. Others can counter with the test that comes when confronting a historic chase and an enthusiastic Indian fanbase of 20,000.

What's definite is this century was much more difficult to see coming.

The New Zealand onslaught in 2022 occurred when she topped the run-scoring charts, but this performance followed six innings in India over the past few weeks in which she had not exceeded 30 runs.

"If you've been watching me in practice sessions, it has been a challenging time because it seemed I lacked timing at all," stated Healy.

"However when you take the field, your fighting spirit kick in and you simply focus on the competition."

Healy's competitiveness has always been her key asset - and an invaluable trait in replacing famous previous leader Meg Lanning.

She was troubled by India's rising star Kranti Gaud in the previous month's ODI series, out to the emerging pace bowler in every game, but on this occasion it simply offered Healy's inspiration.

One run resulted off the bowler's initial ball and from there the right-hander was underway.

"The possibility to go out there and lock in a contest with her and merely enjoy the moment in that aspect, sort of got me going," stated Healy.

She reached fifty in 35 pitches - her swiftest at the global tournament - and her ton in 84 as she attacked short-pitched balls, scoring 21 fours and three big hits.

By the time she was dismissed Australia required another 66 at run per delivery - a manageable total now requiring a leisurely stroll.

"Pursuing 330 is uncharted waters so I'm happy we have the confidence to achieve that now," continued Healy.

"Ideally we won't need to do it again but, if we do, we know we can achieve it."

These statements will be the final thing rival teams at this tournament should hear.

In recent days a feeling they will triumph from any situation has grown stronger - this triumph following victory over Pakistan by 107-run victory despite being 76-7 at one point.

Following this Australia face Bangladesh before a match against longtime competitors England in Indore in ten days, by which point a last-four spot may likely be confirmed.

During that phase they were eliminated from last year's T20 World Cup in an unexpected loss by South Africa - a match Healy missed because of torn tissue in her foot as she guided Australia for the first time at a major tournament.

So strong is her resolve, she subsequently stated she regretted not playing with the discomfort.

But while she afterwards confessed those injuries have delayed plans to retire, this championship is expected to be her concluding event as leader in ODI cricket and she is still to achieve an international tournament as skipper.

Success in India would take her to the summit of her last major obstacle.
