It's difficult for Australia to set fresh records.

The greatest achievements have long been mastered.

This is the squad that has won seven Cricket World Cups, plus another six T20 titles, and previously enjoyed nearly four years unbeaten in 50-over cricket.

The alternative records, those for the peak baggers, are the only things left for a team that has won it all.

The fact it required up to Sunday's success by three wickets over India for them to achieve their initial ODI chase over 300, regaining their record for the largest in women's cricket's 50-over format, is, honestly, a compliment to the bowling attack that have sported the yellow jersey over the past 50 years.

It is hard for their batsmen to hold a record if never given the opportunity.

In the end, the result of Australia conceding 330 was leader Alyssa Healy getting a chance to deliver her latest masterpiece.

Then best known as the teenage relative of renowned former Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she first played in 2010 after her country couldn't capture either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups from the prior year and has seen it all through 15 championship-filled years since.

A T20 World Cup win happened three months after her bow and seven world titles have followed from 10 tries across formats.

The gritty keeper was present as well in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final defeat 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 made 170 against England in the final and was awarded tournament MVP. She ensured her country would not fall short again.

If this newest brilliant performance surpassed that earlier display is debatable.

Some will argue the reasoning behind final game tension. Different voices suggest with the challenge that comes when confronting a historic chase and an enthusiastic Indian fanbase of 20,000.

What is certain is this ton was far harder to see coming.

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 came as she was the highest scorer, but this knock was preceded by six games in India from the beginning of the previous month in which she had not exceeded 30 runs.

"For those following me in training, it's been a challenging time because I feel like I lacked timing whatsoever," said Healy.

"However when you take the field, your competitive nature take over and you simply focus on the competition."

Healy's competitive nature has consistently been her major advantage - and an invaluable trait in taking over from legendary former captain Meg Lanning.

She was troubled by India's emerging talent Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, dismissed by the emerging pace bowler in each encounter, but this time it merely gave Healy's spark.

One run resulted off Gaud's first delivery and from there Healy was on her way.

"An opportunity to take the field and lock in a contest with her and merely enjoy the moment in that aspect, somewhat inspired me," stated Healy.

She achieved fifty in 35 balls - her fastest at a World Cup - and her hundred in 84 as she flogged anything short, hitting 21 fours and three sixes.

When she was out the team needed 66 additional runs at one run per ball - an unconquered height now needing a comfortable finish.

"To chase 330 is uncharted waters so I'm pleased we have the belief to do that now," continued Healy.

"Hopefully we don't have to do it again but, if necessary, we are confident we can achieve it."

These statements will be the final thing competing nations at this championship want to hear.

During the last week a belief they will succeed regardless of circumstances has become more firm - this victory coming after win against Pakistan by 107 run margin despite struggling at 76-7 at one point.

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

It was at that stage they were eliminated from the prior year's T20 World Cup in an unexpected loss by South Africa - an encounter Healy was absent due to damaged tissue in her foot as she guided Australia for the first time at a major tournament.

Such is her determination, she subsequently stated she wished she had played through the pain.

Yet even as she afterwards confessed those injuries have postponed consideration of ending her career, this World Cup is expected to be her last as captain in 50-over cricket and she is yet to win a world championship as captain.

Triumph in India would bring her to the top of her last major obstacle.
