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

The highest peaks have been successfully scaled.

This is the squad that has claimed seven Cricket World Cups, plus another six T20 titles, and earlier maintained over three years unbeaten in 50-over cricket.

The secondary achievements, those for the record chasers, are what's still available for a side that has achieved everything.

That it took up to Sunday's three-wicket win over India for them to complete their first ODI chase above 300, taking back their record for the largest in the female 50-over format, is, in truth, a tribute to the bowling attack that have sported the yellow jersey over five decades.

It's challenging for their batters to maintain a record if not afforded the chance.

Ultimately, the consequence of Australia conceding 330 was leader Alyssa Healy getting a chance to deliver her newest gem.

Initially recognized as the 19-year-old niece of famous ex Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she first played in 2010 after her country failed to win either of the T20 or ODI World Cups from the prior year and has witnessed all through 15 successful years since.

Success in the T20 World Cup arrived three months after her debut and seven world titles have followed 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 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 scored 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 topped that previous effort remains open for discussion.

Many contend the argument supporting the pressure of a final. Different voices suggest with the difficulty that comes when facing a record target and an enthusiastic Indian fanbase of 20,000.

What is certain is this ton was much more difficult to predict.

The New Zealand onslaught in 2022 came as she was the highest scorer, but this knock came after six matches in India from the beginning of the previous month in which she had failed to pass 30.

"For those following me in practice sessions, it's been a challenging time because it seemed my form was missing whatsoever," commented Healy.

"But once you step out on the field, your fighting spirit take over and you just lock into the match."

Healy's fighting spirit has continuously been her key asset - and an invaluable trait in replacing famous previous leader Meg Lanning.

She was tormented by India's rising star Kranti Gaud in the previous month's ODI series, fallen to the emerging pace bowler in each encounter, but this time it merely gave Healy's inspiration.

A single was taken off the opening delivery and from there the right-hander was on her way.

"A chance to play and engage in competition with her and merely enjoy the moment that way, kind of motivated me," commented Healy.

She achieved fifty in 35 balls - her quickest at the global tournament - and her hundred in 84 balls as she punished short deliveries, striking 21 boundaries and three maximums.

Once she was out the team needed 66 more at a run-a-ball - an unconquered height now demanding an easy conclusion.

"Chasing 330 runs is new territory so I am glad we have the confidence to accomplish that now," stated Healy further.

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

That comment will be the final thing competing nations at this championship want to hear.

Over the past five days a belief they will succeed regardless of circumstances has only strengthened - this success coming after win against Pakistan by 107-run victory despite sitting at 76-7 at a certain moment.

Subsequently Australia meet Bangladesh before a meeting with traditional opponents England in Indore in 10 days, by which point a semi-final berth may well be secure.

During that phase they left the previous year's T20 World Cup in a surprising setback by South Africa - a match Healy was absent due to torn tissue in her foot as she led her country for the first time at a significant event.

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

However although she later admitted those injuries have delayed thoughts of retirement, this championship is anticipated as her last as captain in one-day cricket and she is still to achieve a world championship as captain.

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