It's tough for Australia to set fresh records.

The top summits have been successfully scaled.

This is the squad that has secured seven Cricket World Cups, in addition to another six T20 titles, and earlier maintained 1,294 days undefeated in 50-over cricket.

The remaining milestones, those for the peak baggers, are all that remain for a team that has accomplished all there is.

It needed as late as Sunday's victory by three wickets over India for them to achieve their initial ODI chase above 300, regaining their record for the largest in women's cricket's 50-over format, is, honestly, a tribute to the bowlers that have sported the yellow jersey over the last half-century.

It's challenging for their batsmen to possess a record if not afforded the possibility.

Finally, the outcome of Australia conceding 330 was skipper Alyssa Healy being given a chance to produce her latest masterpiece.

Initially recognized as the teenage relative of renowned former Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she debuted in 2010 after Australia failed to win either of the T20 or ODI World Cups held the previous year and has experienced everything through 15 trophy-laden years since.

A T20 championship victory arrived three months after her bow and seven global championships have followed from 10 efforts across formats.

The determined wicketkeeper was in attendance in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final defeat by India briefly halted the winning streak.

That loss "motivated us to reevaluate our levels," Healy said this week.

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.

Whether this latest epic knock exceeded that prior achievement can be debated.

Many contend the reasoning behind the pressure of a final. Different voices suggest with the difficulty that comes when pursuing an unprecedented total and an enthusiastic Indian fanbase of 20,000.

What's definite is this century was considerably tougher to predict.

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 came as she topped the run-scoring charts, but this knock came after six matches in India since the start of last month in which she had been unable to reach 30.

"If you've observed me in practice sessions, it was a challenging time because it seemed my form was missing whatsoever," stated Healy.

"However when you enter the playing area, your competitive instincts take over and you completely engage with the competition."

Healy's fighting spirit has consistently been her major advantage - and a priceless quality in replacing iconic ex-skipper Meg Lanning.

She was challenged by India's emerging talent Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, out to the young fast bowler in each encounter, but here that only provided Healy's motivation.

A single came off the opening delivery and after that the right-hander was underway.

"A chance to go out there and engage in competition with her and merely enjoy the moment in that regard, somewhat inspired me," commented Healy.

She reached fifty in 35 balls - her fastest at the World Cup - and her hundred in 84 deliveries while she flogged anything short, striking 21 boundaries and three sixes.

Once she was dismissed her side needed 66 more at one run per ball - a manageable total now needing a comfortable finish.

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

"Ideally we won't need to do it another time but, should it happen, we know we can achieve it."

That comment will be the final thing competing nations at this championship need to hear.

In recent days a sense they will win from any position has only strengthened - this success following victory over Pakistan by 107-run victory despite being 76-7 at a certain moment.

Subsequently Australia meet Bangladesh before a meeting with traditional opponents England in Indore in a week and a half, by which point a semi-final berth may probably be guaranteed.

It was at that stage they were eliminated from the previous year's T20 World Cup in an unexpected loss by South Africa - an encounter Healy missed because of torn tissue in her foot as she led her country for the first time at a major tournament.

So strong is her resolve, she subsequently stated she wanted to have participated with the discomfort.

Yet even as she later admitted those physical issues have delayed plans to retire, this tournament is anticipated as her last as captain in one-day cricket and she is still to achieve a world championship as leader.

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