It's tough for the Australian squad to set fresh records.

The top summits have been successfully scaled.

We're talking about the team that has claimed seven Cricket World Cups, plus another six T20 titles, and once went over three years undefeated in 50-over cricket.

The remaining milestones, targeted by the peak baggers, are what's still available for a side that has accomplished all there is.

That it took up to Sunday's victory by three wickets over India for them to accomplish their maiden ODI chase exceeding 300, taking back their record for the largest in women's cricket's 50-over format, is, frankly, a compliment to the bowling attack that have represented Australia over the last half-century.

It's challenging for their batters to possess a record if never given the opportunity.

In the end, the consequence of Australia giving up 330 runs was captain Alyssa Healy being given an opportunity to create her most recent brilliance.

Originally famous as the teenage relative of famous ex Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she first played in 2010 after her country couldn't capture either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups held the previous year and has experienced everything through 15 trophy-laden years since.

A T20 championship victory happened three months after her first appearance and seven world titles have resulted from 10 efforts across formats.

The gritty keeper was also there in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final defeat by India briefly halted the winning streak.

That loss "pushed us to rethink our standards," Healy said this week.

At the next 50-over World Cup in New Zealand, Healy scored 170 against England in the championship match and was awarded tournament MVP. She guaranteed her country would not fail again.

Whether this newest brilliant performance surpassed that earlier display can be debated.

Certain people claim the argument supporting final game tension. Others can counter with the test that comes when facing a record target and an enthusiastic Indian fanbase of 20,000.

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

The New Zealand onslaught in 2022 occurred when she was the highest scorer, but this performance was preceded by six games in India from the beginning of the previous month in which she had failed to pass 30.

"If you've been watching me in training, it's been a disappointing period because it seemed I lacked timing completely," commented Healy.

"However when you step out on the field, your fighting spirit kick in and you completely engage with the match."

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

She was tormented by India's emerging talent Kranti Gaud in the previous month's ODI series, fallen to the emerging pace bowler in each encounter, but on this occasion it simply offered Healy's spark.

A single came off the opening delivery and from there the right-hander was underway.

"The possibility to play and lock in a contest with her and merely enjoy the moment in that aspect, somewhat inspired me," commented Healy.

She achieved fifty in 35 pitches - her fastest at the global tournament - and her ton in 84 as she punished short deliveries, hitting 21 fours and three big hits.

When she was dismissed Australia required another 66 at a run-a-ball - an unconquered height now needing a comfortable finish.

"Pursuing 330 is new territory so I'm happy we have the belief to accomplish that now," stated Healy further.

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

Those words will be the last Australia's opponents at this championship should hear.

During the last week a sense they will triumph from any situation has grown stronger - this victory following success over Pakistan by 107-run victory despite being 76-7 at one point.

Next Australia play Bangladesh before a meeting with longtime competitors England in Indore in 10 days, by which point a semi-final berth may likely be confirmed.

It was at that stage they left the prior year's T20 World Cup in an unexpected loss by South Africa - a game Healy missed because of damaged tissue in her foot as she led her country for the first time at a major tournament.

Such is her determination, she subsequently stated she wanted to have participated despite the injury.

However although she later admitted those injuries have delayed consideration of ending her career, this championship is expected to be her concluding event as leader in one-day cricket and she is yet to win a global event as skipper.

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