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

The highest peaks have been successfully scaled.

This is the squad that has secured seven Cricket World Cups, plus an additional six T20 titles, and once went over three years undefeated in 50-over cricket.

The alternative records, the ones sought by the achievement hunters, are the only things left for a side that has won it all.

It needed until Sunday's three-wicket win over India for them to achieve their initial ODI chase above 300, reclaiming their record for the biggest in the female 50-over format, is, honestly, a compliment to the bowlers that have sported the yellow jersey over the last half-century.

It's difficult for their hitters to hold a record if not afforded the opportunity.

In the end, the result of Australia giving up 330 runs was skipper Alyssa Healy receiving an opportunity to deliver her newest gem.

Originally famous as the teenage relative of celebrated previous Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she debuted in 2010 after Australia failed to win either of the T20 or ODI World Cups held the previous year and has seen it all through 15 trophy-laden years since.

A T20 championship victory arrived three months after her debut and seven world titles have followed from 10 attempts across formats.

The tough gloveman was present as well in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final defeat by India momentarily interrupted the run of success.

That loss "pushed us to reconsider our benchmarks," Healy said this week.

At the next 50-over World Cup in New Zealand, Healy hit 170 against England in the final and was awarded tournament MVP. She made sure her country would not come up short.

If this newest brilliant performance exceeded that prior achievement remains open for discussion.

Some will argue the case for championship match pressure. Others can counter with the challenge that comes when pursuing an unprecedented total and an enthusiastic Indian fanbase of 20,000.

What's clear is this century was considerably tougher to anticipate.

The New Zealand onslaught in 2022 happened while she led the batting statistics, but this performance was preceded by six games in India since the start of last month in which she had not exceeded 30 runs.

"If you've observed me in practice sessions, it was a challenging time because I feel like my form was missing completely," stated Healy.

"Yet the moment you step out on the field, your competitive instincts take over and you simply focus on the competition."

Healy's competitive nature has always been her key asset - and an irreplaceable characteristic in succeeding legendary former captain Meg Lanning.

She was tormented by India's emerging talent Kranti Gaud in recent ODI series, fallen to the 22-year-old seamer in all three matches, but on this occasion it simply offered Healy's motivation.

A single was taken off the bowler's initial ball and after that Healy was on her way.

"The possibility to go out there and lock in a contest with her and just have a bit of fun that way, somewhat inspired me," stated Healy.

She achieved fifty in 35 balls - her swiftest at the World Cup - and her hundred in 84 deliveries while she flogged anything short, scoring 21 fours and three sixes.

By the time she was dismissed Australia needed 66 more at a run-a-ball - an unconquered height now needing a comfortable finish.

"Pursuing 330 is uncharted waters so I am glad we have the assurance to achieve that now," added Healy.

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

That comment will be the final thing competing nations at this tournament should hear.

Over the past five days a feeling they will triumph from any situation has become more firm - this victory succeeding victory over Pakistan by 107-run victory despite struggling at 76-7 at one stage.

Next Australia play Bangladesh before a match against traditional opponents England in Indore in a week and a half, by which point a semi-final berth may probably be guaranteed.

It was in the semi-finals they left last year's T20 World Cup in a surprising setback by South Africa - a game Healy missed because of torn tissue in her foot as she led her country for the initial instance at an important competition.

So strong is her resolve, she subsequently stated she regretted not playing through the pain.

Yet even as she afterwards confessed those fitness problems have pushed back consideration of ending her career, this tournament is expected to be her concluding event as leader in 50-over cricket and she is still to achieve a world championship as skipper.

Success in India would lead her to the peak of her last major obstacle.
