It's tough for Australia to set fresh records.

The highest peaks have been successfully scaled.

We're talking about the team that has won seven Cricket World Cups, plus another six T20 titles, and previously enjoyed 1,294 days without defeat in 50-over cricket.

The alternative records, those for the peak baggers, are all that remain for a squad that has won it all.

It needed as late as Sunday's victory by three wickets over India for them to complete their first ODI chase over 300, regaining their record for the highest in the female 50-over format, is, in truth, a testament to the bowlers that have worn canary yellow over the last half-century.

It's challenging for their hitters to possess a record if not provided the possibility.

In the end, the outcome of Australia conceding 330 was captain Alyssa Healy receiving a platform to produce her latest masterpiece.

Then best known as the teenage relative of celebrated previous Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she made her debut in 2010 after her nation couldn't capture either of the T20 or ODI World Cups held the previous year and has experienced everything through 15 trophy-laden years since.

Success in the T20 World Cup arrived three months after her first appearance and seven global championships have come from 10 efforts across formats.

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

That loss "motivated us to reconsider our benchmarks," Healy commented earlier.

At the subsequent ODI World Cup in New Zealand, Healy hit 170 against England in the final and was declared player of the series. She ensured her country would not fall short again.

The question of whether this recent magnificent innings surpassed that earlier display remains open for discussion.

Some will argue the argument supporting championship match pressure. Others can counter with the challenge that comes when confronting a historic chase and a loud pro-India audience of 20,000.

What is certain is this ton was much more difficult to see coming.

The New Zealand onslaught in 2022 came as she topped the run-scoring charts, but this knock 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's been a disappointing period because it seemed I've had no rhythm completely," said Healy.

"However when you enter the playing area, your competitive nature activate and you just lock into the competition."

Healy's competitive nature has consistently been her major advantage - and a priceless quality in succeeding iconic ex-skipper Meg Lanning.

She was tormented by India's rising star Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, out to the emerging pace bowler in each encounter, but here that only provided Healy's spark.

A single was taken off the opening delivery and after that the batsman was on her way.

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

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

By the time she was out the team required another 66 at run per delivery - an unconquered height now needing a comfortable finish.

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

"Preferably we shouldn't have to repeat it but, should it happen, we know we can do it."

These statements will be the ultimate thing competing nations at this World Cup want to hear.

During the last week a sense they will win from any position has only strengthened - this triumph succeeding win against Pakistan by 107 run margin despite being 76-7 at one point.

Following this Australia face Bangladesh before a meeting with traditional opponents England in Indore in ten days, by which point a last-four spot may probably be guaranteed.

It was at that stage they left the previous year's T20 World Cup in an unexpected loss by South Africa - a match Healy was absent due to torn tissue in her foot as she guided Australia for the first time at an important competition.

So great is her will, she subsequently stated she regretted not playing despite the injury.

However although she subsequently acknowledged those physical issues have postponed plans to retire, this championship is anticipated as her final tournament as skipper in ODI cricket and she is hasn't yet secured a world championship as skipper.

Victory in India would take her to the summit of her ultimate challenge.
