It's difficult for Australia to set fresh records.

The greatest achievements have been successfully scaled.

This is the team that has claimed seven Cricket World Cups, in addition to an additional six T20 titles, and earlier maintained 1,294 days unbeaten in 50-over cricket.

The alternative records, the ones sought by the achievement hunters, are what's still available for a squad that has won it all.

The fact it required as late as Sunday's victory by three wickets over India for them to complete their first ODI chase exceeding 300, taking back their record for the biggest in the women's 50-over format, is, frankly, a testament to the bowlers that have represented Australia over five decades.

It's challenging for their batters to hold a record if never given the chance.

In the end, the outcome of Australia allowing 330 runs was captain Alyssa Healy getting an opportunity to create her latest masterpiece.

Then best known as the 19-year-old niece of famous ex Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she first played in 2010 after her country failed to win either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups held the previous year and has seen it all through 15 trophy-laden years since.

A T20 World Cup win arrived three months after her first appearance and seven international trophies have resulted from 10 tries across formats.

The determined wicketkeeper was present as well in Derby in 2017 when a last-four loss by India momentarily interrupted the successful run.

That loss "motivated us to reconsider our benchmarks," Healy stated recently.

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

The question of whether this newest brilliant performance surpassed that earlier display can be debated.

Many contend the case for the pressure of a final. Different voices suggest with the challenge that comes when confronting a historic chase and a loud pro-India audience of 20,000.

What is certain is this hundred was considerably tougher to anticipate.

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 occurred when she led the batting statistics, but this knock came after six matches in India from the beginning of the previous month in which she had been unable to reach 30.

"If you've observed me in the nets, it's been a frustrating experience because it seemed my form was missing whatsoever," said Healy.

"But once you take the field, your competitive instincts take over and you just lock into the competition."

Healy's competitiveness has consistently been her major advantage - and an irreplaceable characteristic in succeeding famous previous leader Meg Lanning.

She was tormented by India's rising star Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, out to the young fast bowler in every game, but this time it merely gave Healy's motivation.

One run resulted off the opening delivery and after that Healy was underway.

"The possibility to take the field and lock in a contest with her and merely enjoy the moment in that regard, sort of got me going," stated Healy.

She reached fifty in 35 pitches - her swiftest at the World Cup - and her hundred in 84 deliveries while she flogged anything short, scoring 21 fours and three sixes.

By the time she was out the team needed 66 additional runs at a run-a-ball - an achievable target now requiring a leisurely stroll.

"Chasing 330 runs is unfamiliar ground so I'm pleased we have the assurance to do that now," continued Healy.

"Ideally we won't need to do it another time but, if necessary, we are confident we can achieve it."

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

In recent days a feeling they will win from any position has become more firm - this victory succeeding win against Pakistan by 107 run margin despite sitting at 76-7 at one stage.

Subsequently Australia meet Bangladesh before a match against old rivals England in Indore in a week and a half, by which point a semi-final place may probably be guaranteed.

It was in the semi-finals they were eliminated from last year's T20 World Cup in an unexpected loss by South Africa - an encounter Healy couldn't play because of damaged tissue in her foot as she guided Australia for the initial instance at a significant event.

Such is her determination, she afterwards commented she regretted not playing through the pain.

However although she afterwards confessed those injuries have delayed consideration of ending her career, this championship is anticipated as her final tournament as skipper in ODI cricket and she is hasn't yet secured a global event as skipper.

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