It's difficult for Australia to set fresh records.

The greatest achievements have been successfully scaled.

We're talking about the squad that has secured seven Cricket World Cups, along with six more T20 titles, and once went over three years without defeat in 50-over cricket.

The remaining milestones, targeted by the record chasers, are all that remain for a side that has achieved everything.

The fact it required as late as Sunday's success by three wickets over India for them to complete their first ODI chase over 300, taking back their record for the highest in the women'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 hitters to possess a record if not afforded the chance.

Ultimately, the result of Australia conceding 330 was captain Alyssa Healy receiving a platform to create her latest masterpiece.

Originally famous as the young family member of renowned former Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she made her debut in 2010 after Australia didn't secure 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 came three months after her debut and seven global championships have followed from 10 tries across formats.

The determined wicketkeeper was present as well in Derby in 2017 when a last-four loss by India temporarily stopped the run of success.

That loss "drove us to reevaluate our levels," 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 named player of the tournament. She made sure her country would not come up short.

Whether this newest brilliant performance topped that previous effort can be debated.

Certain people claim the reasoning behind the pressure of a final. Some might respond with the test that comes when pursuing an unprecedented total and a raucous India-supporting crowd of 20,000.

What's clear is this ton was far harder to see coming.

The New Zealand onslaught in 2022 came as she led the batting statistics, but this innings followed six innings in India over the past few weeks in which she had not exceeded 30 runs.

"If you've been watching me in practice sessions, it's been a disappointing period because I feel like I lacked timing at all," said Healy.

"Yet the moment you step out on the field, your competitive instincts activate and you just lock into the contest."

Healy's competitiveness has always been her major advantage - and an invaluable trait in succeeding legendary former captain Meg Lanning.

She was challenged by India's rising star Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, fallen to the young fast bowler in all three matches, but this time it merely gave Healy's motivation.

One run resulted off Gaud's first delivery and from that point the right-hander was on her way.

"An opportunity to play and face the challenge with her and merely enjoy the moment in that aspect, sort of got me going," commented Healy.

She achieved fifty in 35 pitches - her quickest at a World Cup - and her ton in 84 balls as she flogged anything short, striking 21 boundaries and three maximums.

Once she was dismissed her side required another 66 at run per delivery - an achievable target now demanding an easy conclusion.

"Pursuing 330 is unfamiliar ground so I'm pleased we have the confidence to accomplish that now," stated Healy further.

"Preferably we shouldn't have to do it again but, if necessary, we know we can achieve it."

These statements will be the final thing rival teams at this tournament should hear.

Over the past five days a feeling they will triumph from any situation has only strengthened - this victory following win against Pakistan by 107 runs 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 well be secure.

It was at that stage they were eliminated from last year's T20 World Cup in an unexpected loss by South Africa - an encounter Healy was absent due to torn tissue in her foot as she led her country for the initial instance at a major tournament.

Such is her determination, she subsequently stated she wished she had played despite the injury.

Yet even as she subsequently acknowledged those fitness problems have postponed thoughts of retirement, this World Cup is anticipated as her concluding event as leader in ODI cricket and she is hasn't yet secured a world championship as captain.

Triumph in India would lead her to the peak of her ultimate challenge.
