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

The highest peaks have long been mastered.

We're talking about the unit that has secured seven Cricket World Cups, plus an additional six T20 titles, and previously enjoyed nearly four years undefeated in 50-over cricket.

The remaining milestones, those for the achievement hunters, are what's still available for a side that has achieved everything.

It needed until Sunday's victory by three wickets over India for them to achieve their initial ODI chase exceeding 300, regaining their record for the biggest in the women's 50-over format, is, honestly, a tribute to the pitchers that have sported the yellow jersey over five decades.

It's difficult for their hitters to hold a record if never given the possibility.

In the end, the consequence of Australia conceding 330 was captain Alyssa Healy getting a platform to produce her latest masterpiece.

Then best known as the young family member of celebrated previous Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she first played in 2010 after Australia failed to win either of the T20 or ODI World Cups conducted earlier and has experienced everything through 15 championship-filled years since.

Success in the T20 World Cup happened three months after her bow and seven world titles have followed from 10 attempts across formats.

The tough gloveman was in attendance in Derby in 2017 when a last-four loss by India temporarily stopped 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 made 170 against England in the championship match and was named player of the tournament. She ensured her country would not fail again.

Whether this latest epic knock surpassed that earlier display can be debated.

Some will argue the reasoning behind championship match pressure. Others can counter with the challenge that comes when confronting a historic chase and an enthusiastic Indian fanbase of 20,000.

What's definite is this ton was far harder to predict.

The New Zealand onslaught in 2022 happened while she led the batting statistics, but this performance was preceded by six games in India over the past few weeks in which she had been unable to reach 30.

"If you've been watching me in training, it's been a frustrating experience because I feel like my form was missing whatsoever," said Healy.

"But once you enter the playing area, your fighting spirit take over and you completely engage with the competition."

Healy's competitive nature has consistently been her great strength - and an invaluable trait in taking over from legendary former captain Meg Lanning.

She was challenged by India's rising star Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, dismissed by the emerging pace bowler in each encounter, but on this occasion it simply offered Healy's inspiration.

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

"A chance to take the field and face the challenge with her and simply enjoy myself in that aspect, somewhat inspired me," stated Healy.

She achieved fifty in 35 balls - her swiftest at a World Cup - and her ton in 84 balls as she flogged anything short, striking 21 boundaries and three sixes.

When she was out her side needed 66 more at run per delivery - an unconquered height now demanding an easy conclusion.

"Chasing 330 runs is new territory so I'm pleased we have the assurance to achieve that now," continued Healy.

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

Those words will be the ultimate thing competing nations at this World Cup want to hear.

In recent days a sense they will win from any position has grown stronger - this victory succeeding win against Pakistan by 107 runs despite being 76-7 at a certain moment.

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 place may well be secure.

It was at that stage they exited the previous year's T20 World Cup in an unexpected loss 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 an important competition.

So strong is her resolve, she subsequently stated she wished she had played with the discomfort.

Yet even as she later admitted those fitness problems have pushed back consideration of ending her career, this World Cup is expected to be her concluding event as leader in ODI cricket and she is still to achieve a global event as skipper.

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