It's tough for Australia to set fresh records.

The top summits have long been mastered.

We're talking about the team that has secured seven Cricket World Cups, along with six more T20 titles, and once went 1,294 days unbeaten in 50-over cricket.

The remaining milestones, those for the achievement hunters, are all that remain for a squad that has won it all.

The fact it required 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 the female 50-over format, is, in truth, a testament to the pitchers that have sported the yellow jersey over the last half-century.

It's difficult for their batsmen to possess a record if never given the opportunity.

In the end, the outcome of Australia conceding 330 was skipper Alyssa Healy being given a platform to create her latest masterpiece.

Originally famous as the 19-year-old niece of celebrated previous Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she debuted in 2010 after Australia couldn't capture either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups from the prior year and has seen it all through 15 successful years since.

A T20 championship victory happened three months after her bow and seven world titles have come from 10 attempts across formats.

The determined wicketkeeper was in attendance in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final setback by India temporarily stopped the run of success.

That loss "drove us to reevaluate our levels," Healy commented earlier.

At the next 50-over World Cup in New Zealand, Healy made 170 against England in the final and was named player of the tournament. She guaranteed her country would not fall short again.

The question of whether this latest epic knock surpassed that earlier display is debatable.

Many contend the case for final game tension. Others can counter with the difficulty that comes when confronting a historic chase and a loud pro-India audience of 20,000.

What's definite is this hundred was considerably tougher to anticipate.

The New Zealand onslaught in 2022 came as she topped the run-scoring charts, but this innings was preceded by six games in India over the past few weeks in which she had not exceeded 30 runs.

"If you've been watching me in the nets, it was a disappointing period because I feel like I've had no rhythm at all," stated Healy.

"But once you step out on the field, your competitive instincts activate and you simply focus on the match."

Healy's fighting spirit has always been her key asset - and an irreplaceable characteristic in taking over from famous previous leader Meg Lanning.

She was challenged by India's rising star Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, out to the emerging pace bowler in all three matches, but this time it merely gave Healy's inspiration.

One run resulted off the opening delivery and from there the right-hander was on her way.

"A chance to go out there and engage in competition with her and simply enjoy myself that way, sort of got me going," stated Healy.

She got to fifty in 35 balls - her quickest at the global tournament - and her ton in 84 deliveries while she flogged anything short, scoring 21 fours and three big hits.

By the time she was removed the team needed 66 more at a run-a-ball - an unconquered height now requiring a leisurely stroll.

"Chasing 330 runs is uncharted waters so I'm happy we have the assurance to do that now," continued Healy.

"Hopefully we don't have to do it another time but, if necessary, we know we can do it."

These statements will be the ultimate thing competing nations at this tournament want to hear.

Over the past five days a sense they will succeed regardless of circumstances has grown stronger - this victory following win against Pakistan by 107-run victory despite struggling at 76-7 at one stage.

Subsequently Australia meet Bangladesh before a match against old rivals England in Indore in ten days, by which point a semi-final berth may likely be confirmed.

It was in the semi-finals they were eliminated from the prior year's T20 World Cup in a shock defeat by South Africa - a game Healy couldn't play because of torn tissue in her foot as she led her country for the initial instance at an important competition.

Such is her determination, she subsequently stated she regretted not playing through the pain.

But while she later admitted those fitness problems have pushed back consideration of ending her career, this championship is likely to be her concluding event as leader in ODI cricket and she is yet to win a world championship as skipper.

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