It's tough for Australia to set fresh records.

The greatest achievements have been successfully scaled.

We're talking about the team that has won seven Cricket World Cups, in addition to an additional six T20 titles, and once went 1,294 days without defeat in 50-over cricket.

The alternative records, the ones sought by the peak baggers, are all that remain for a team that has accomplished all there is.

The fact it required as late as Sunday's three-wicket win over India for them to accomplish their maiden ODI chase over 300, regaining their record for the biggest in the female 50-over format, is, honestly, a compliment to the pitchers that have sported the yellow jersey over the last half-century.

It's difficult for their batters to possess a record if not provided the opportunity.

Ultimately, the result of Australia conceding 330 was captain Alyssa Healy being given a platform to create her newest gem.

Originally famous as the young family member 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 conducted earlier and has experienced everything through 15 trophy-laden years since.

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

The determined wicketkeeper was in attendance in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final setback by India momentarily interrupted the successful run.

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

At the following one-day championship in New Zealand, Healy hit 170 against England in the title decider and was awarded tournament MVP. She ensured her country would not come up short.

Whether this newest brilliant performance topped that previous effort is debatable.

Some will argue the case for the pressure of a final. Some might respond 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 considerably tougher to see coming.

The Christchurch carnage in 2022 came as she topped the run-scoring charts, but this innings came after six matches in India over the past few weeks in which she had been unable to reach 30.

"If you've observed me in the nets, it has been a frustrating experience because I feel like I've had no rhythm at all," said Healy.

"But once you take the field, your competitive instincts take over and you completely engage with the competition."

Healy's fighting spirit has consistently been her great strength - and an invaluable trait in taking over from legendary former captain Meg Lanning.

She was challenged by India's emerging talent Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, out to the 22-year-old seamer in every game, but this time it merely gave Healy's motivation.

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

"A chance to take the field and face the challenge with her and merely enjoy the moment in that regard, somewhat inspired me," said Healy.

She achieved fifty in 35 balls - her quickest at a World Cup - and her century in 84 as she attacked short-pitched balls, hitting 21 fours and three maximums.

By the time she was dismissed her side required another 66 at run per delivery - an achievable target now requiring a leisurely stroll.

"To chase 330 is unfamiliar ground so I am glad we have the confidence to do that now," stated Healy further.

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

Those words will be the final thing Australia's opponents at this World Cup want to hear.

Over the past five days a sense they will triumph from any situation has grown stronger - this victory coming after win against Pakistan by 107 run margin despite sitting at 76-7 at one point.

Next Australia play Bangladesh before a match against traditional opponents England in Indore in 10 days, by which point a last-four spot may well be secure.

It was at that stage they left last year's T20 World Cup in a shock defeat by South Africa - a match Healy was absent due to torn tissue in her foot as she led her country for the inaugural occasion at a significant event.

Such is her determination, she later said she wished she had played despite the injury.

Yet even as she afterwards confessed those fitness problems have delayed plans to retire, this tournament is anticipated as her concluding event as leader in one-day cricket and she is yet to win an international tournament as skipper.

Success in India would bring her to the top of her ultimate challenge.
