It's difficult for the Australian squad to set fresh records.

The greatest achievements 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 nearly four years unbeaten in 50-over cricket.

The alternative records, targeted by the record chasers, are what's still available for a side that has achieved everything.

It needed up to Sunday's victory by three wickets over India for them to accomplish their maiden ODI chase exceeding 300, reclaiming their record for the biggest in the female 50-over format, is, honestly, a testament to the bowling attack that have represented Australia over five decades.

It is hard for their hitters to hold a record if not provided the chance.

In the end, the outcome of Australia allowing 330 runs was skipper Alyssa Healy getting a chance to deliver her most recent brilliance.

Then best known as the young family member of celebrated previous Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she debuted in 2010 after her nation couldn't capture either of the T20 or ODI World Cups conducted earlier and has witnessed all through 15 trophy-laden years since.

A T20 World Cup win came three months after her first appearance and seven global championships have followed from 10 tries across formats.

The determined wicketkeeper was also there in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final defeat by India temporarily stopped the winning streak.

That loss "drove us to reconsider our benchmarks," 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.

Certain people claim the case for championship match pressure. Some might respond with the challenge that comes when pursuing an unprecedented total and a loud pro-India audience of 20,000.

What's clear is this ton was much more difficult to see coming.

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 occurred when she led the batting statistics, but this innings came after six matches in India since the start of last month in which she had not exceeded 30 runs.

"If you've observed me in training, it's been a disappointing period because it seemed my form was missing whatsoever," commented Healy.

"Yet the moment you step out on the field, your fighting spirit take over and you completely engage with the competition."

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

She was challenged by India's rising star Kranti Gaud in recent ODI series, dismissed by the 22-year-old seamer in all three matches, but here that only provided Healy's inspiration.

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

"The possibility to play and lock in a contest with her and merely enjoy the moment in that regard, somewhat inspired me," commented Healy.

She reached fifty in 35 pitches - her fastest at a World Cup - and her century in 84 as she punished short deliveries, hitting 21 fours and three maximums.

Once she was removed the team needed 66 more at run per delivery - an achievable target now needing a comfortable finish.

"Chasing 330 runs is unfamiliar ground so I am glad we have the belief to achieve that now," stated Healy further.

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

Those words will be the ultimate thing rival teams at this championship want to hear.

Over the past five days a belief they will win from any position has grown stronger - this triumph following win against Pakistan by 107-run victory despite sitting at 76-7 at one point.

Subsequently Australia meet Bangladesh before a meeting with old rivals England in Indore in 10 days, by which point a semi-final berth may probably be guaranteed.

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 ruptured tissue in her foot as she led her country for the initial instance at a significant event.

Such is her determination, she subsequently stated she wanted to have participated with the discomfort.

Yet even as she subsequently acknowledged those physical issues have pushed back consideration of ending her career, this tournament is likely to be her concluding event as leader in one-day cricket and she is yet to win a global event as leader.

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