It's tough for Australia to set fresh records.

The greatest achievements have been successfully scaled.

We're talking about the team that has won seven Cricket World Cups, in addition to an additional six T20 titles, and previously enjoyed 1,294 days unbeaten in 50-over cricket.

The remaining milestones, targeted by the achievement hunters, are the only things left for a squad that has accomplished all there is.

It needed as late as Sunday's success 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 bowlers that have represented Australia over the past 50 years.

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

In the end, the consequence of Australia giving up 330 runs was captain Alyssa Healy getting a platform to deliver her newest gem.

Originally famous as the 19-year-old niece of celebrated previous Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she first played in 2010 after her country couldn't capture either of the T20 or ODI World Cups from the prior year and has experienced everything through 15 successful years since.

A T20 World Cup win happened three months after her debut and seven world titles have followed 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 "drove us to rethink our standards," Healy said this week.

At the following one-day championship in New Zealand, Healy hit 170 against England in the championship match and was awarded tournament MVP. She made sure her country would not fail again.

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

Many contend the reasoning behind final game tension. Others can counter with the test that comes when pursuing an unprecedented total and a raucous India-supporting crowd of 20,000.

What is certain is this ton was far harder to predict.

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 came as she topped the run-scoring charts, but this performance came after six matches in India from the beginning of the previous month in which she had failed to pass 30.

"For those following me in training, it has been a challenging time because I feel like I've had no rhythm whatsoever," commented Healy.

"However when you enter the playing area, your competitive nature kick in and you just lock into the match."

Healy's competitiveness has continuously been her major advantage - and a priceless quality in taking over from iconic ex-skipper Meg Lanning.

She was troubled by India's rising star Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, out to the 22-year-old seamer in every game, but this time it merely gave Healy's motivation.

A single was taken off the opening delivery and from there the right-hander was on her way.

"The possibility to take the field and face the challenge with her and merely enjoy the moment in that aspect, kind of motivated me," commented Healy.

She reached fifty in 35 deliveries - her fastest at the World Cup - and her ton in 84 deliveries while she attacked short-pitched balls, scoring 21 fours and three maximums.

When she was removed her side needed 66 more at a run-a-ball - a manageable total now demanding an easy conclusion.

"Pursuing 330 is new territory so I'm happy we have the assurance to accomplish that now," continued 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 ultimate thing Australia's opponents at this World Cup want to hear.

During the last week a feeling they will triumph from any situation has only strengthened - this triumph following win against Pakistan by 107 run margin despite struggling at 76-7 at one point.

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

It was at that stage they exited 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 led her country for the inaugural occasion at an important competition.

Such is her determination, she afterwards commented she regretted not playing despite the injury.

But while she afterwards confessed those fitness problems have delayed plans to retire, this championship is anticipated as her concluding event as leader in one-day cricket and she is yet to win a global event as captain.

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