It's tough for the Australian squad to break new ground.

The highest peaks have already been conquered.

This is the unit that has secured seven Cricket World Cups, plus another six T20 titles, and once went nearly four years unbeaten in 50-over cricket.

The alternative records, the ones sought by the record chasers, are all that remain for a squad that has accomplished all there is.

That it took up to Sunday's victory by three wickets over India for them to achieve their initial ODI chase exceeding 300, taking back their record for the highest in women's cricket's 50-over format, is, frankly, a testament to the pitchers that have worn canary yellow over five decades.

It's difficult for their batsmen to hold a record if not provided the possibility.

In the end, the outcome of Australia giving up 330 runs was leader Alyssa Healy being given a chance to create her latest masterpiece.

Originally famous as the young family member of renowned former Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she debuted in 2010 after her nation failed to win either of the T20 or ODI World Cups held the previous year and has witnessed all through 15 trophy-laden years since.

Success in the T20 World Cup arrived three months after her bow and seven world titles have come from 10 efforts across formats.

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

That loss "motivated us to reevaluate our levels," Healy said this week.

At the next 50-over World Cup in New Zealand, Healy hit 170 against England in the title decider and was named player of the tournament. She guaranteed her country would not come up short.

If this newest brilliant performance exceeded that prior achievement can be debated.

Many contend the case for the pressure of a final. Different voices suggest with the test that comes when facing a record target and a loud pro-India audience of 20,000.

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

The Christchurch carnage in 2022 occurred when she led the batting statistics, but this innings followed six innings in India from the beginning of the previous month in which she had not exceeded 30 runs.

"If you've observed me in the nets, it was a challenging time because I feel like I lacked timing whatsoever," said Healy.

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

Healy's fighting spirit has always been her major advantage - and a priceless quality in replacing legendary former captain Meg Lanning.

She was challenged by India's rising star Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, fallen to the emerging pace bowler in every game, but this time it merely gave Healy's motivation.

A single came off Gaud's first delivery and from there the batsman was on her way.

"An opportunity to go out there and engage in competition with her and merely enjoy the moment in that regard, kind of motivated me," said Healy.

She achieved fifty in 35 deliveries - her quickest at the global tournament - and her ton in 84 as she attacked short-pitched balls, hitting 21 fours and three sixes.

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

"Chasing 330 runs is uncharted waters so I am glad we have the assurance to accomplish that now," continued Healy.

"Ideally we won't need to do it again but, should it happen, we believe we can do it."

These statements will be the ultimate thing Australia's opponents at this championship need to hear.

During the last week a sense they will succeed regardless of circumstances has grown stronger - this triumph coming after win against Pakistan by 107-run victory despite struggling at 76-7 at a certain moment.

Next Australia play Bangladesh before a meeting with longtime competitors England in Indore in a week and a half, by which point a last-four spot may well be secure.

During that phase they left the prior year's T20 World Cup in a surprising setback by South Africa - an encounter Healy couldn't play because of ruptured tissue in her foot as she led her country for the inaugural occasion at a significant event.

So strong is her resolve, she afterwards commented she regretted not playing with the discomfort.

But while she later admitted those physical issues have pushed back thoughts of retirement, this championship is anticipated as her final tournament as skipper in one-day cricket and she is hasn't yet secured a world championship as leader.

Success in India would take her to the summit of her ultimate challenge.
