It's tough for the Australian squad to set fresh records.
The highest peaks have already been conquered.
We're talking about the squad that has claimed seven Cricket World Cups, along with an additional six T20 titles, and previously enjoyed over three years without defeat in 50-over cricket.
The alternative records, those for the achievement hunters, are all that remain for a side that has won it all.
The fact it required up to Sunday's success by three wickets over India for them to accomplish their maiden ODI chase above 300, taking back their record for the biggest in the women's 50-over format, is, honestly, a tribute to the bowlers that have worn canary yellow over the last half-century.
It's challenging for their hitters to hold a record if not afforded the opportunity.
Ultimately, the consequence of Australia allowing 330 runs was captain Alyssa Healy receiving a platform to create her most recent brilliance.
Then best known as the 19-year-old niece of celebrated previous Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she first played in 2010 after Australia couldn't capture either of the T20 or ODI World Cups conducted earlier and has witnessed all through 15 championship-filled years since.
A T20 championship victory arrived three months after her first appearance and seven international trophies have come from 10 efforts across formats.
The tough gloveman was present as well in Derby in 2017 when a last-four loss by India briefly halted the run of success.
That loss "motivated us to reconsider our benchmarks," Healy stated recently.
At the next 50-over World Cup in New Zealand, Healy hit 170 against England in the championship match and was awarded tournament MVP. She guaranteed her country would not fall short again.
If this recent magnificent innings exceeded that prior achievement can be debated.
Many contend the reasoning behind championship match pressure. 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 century was much more difficult to predict.
The New Zealand onslaught in 2022 came as 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.
"For those following me in practice sessions, it's been a disappointing period because it seemed my form was missing whatsoever," stated Healy.
"Yet the moment you take the field, your competitive nature kick in and you just lock into the match."
Healy's fighting spirit has always been her major advantage - and an invaluable trait in succeeding iconic ex-skipper Meg Lanning.
She was tormented by India's rising star Kranti Gaud in the previous month's ODI series, dismissed by the young fast bowler in all three matches, but on this occasion it simply offered Healy's inspiration.
One run resulted off Gaud's first delivery and from that point the batsman was on her way.
"An opportunity to go out there and lock in a contest with her and just have a bit of fun that way, sort of got me going," stated Healy.
She achieved fifty in 35 balls - her swiftest at the global tournament - and her century in 84 balls as she attacked short-pitched balls, striking 21 boundaries and three sixes.
Once she was dismissed her side required another 66 at one run per ball - an unconquered height now needing a comfortable finish.
"Chasing 330 runs is uncharted waters so I'm pleased we have the belief to do that now," stated Healy further.
"Hopefully we don't have to do it again but, should it happen, we know we can succeed."
Those words will be the ultimate thing Australia's opponents at this tournament should hear.
Over the past five days a sense they will succeed regardless of circumstances has grown stronger - this triumph following success over Pakistan by 107-run victory despite struggling at 76-7 at one point.
Following this Australia face Bangladesh before a meeting with longtime competitors England in Indore in ten days, by which point a semi-final place may probably be guaranteed.
During that phase they left the previous year's T20 World Cup in a shock defeat by South Africa - a match Healy missed because of torn tissue in her foot as she led her country for the first time at a significant event.
So strong is her resolve, she afterwards commented she wanted to have participated with the discomfort.
However although she subsequently acknowledged those injuries have postponed consideration of ending her career, this championship is anticipated as her concluding event as leader in 50-over cricket and she is still to achieve an international tournament as leader.
Triumph in India would take her to the summit of her final mountain.
