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

The top summits have been successfully scaled.

We're talking about the squad that has won seven Cricket World Cups, along with six more T20 titles, and earlier maintained nearly four years unbeaten in 50-over cricket.

The remaining milestones, those for the achievement hunters, are all that remain for a team that has accomplished all there is.

That it took until Sunday's three-wicket win over India for them to achieve their initial ODI chase over 300, reclaiming their record for the largest in the women's 50-over format, is, in truth, a tribute to the bowling attack that have worn canary yellow over the past 50 years.

It is hard for their batters to maintain a record if not afforded the possibility.

Ultimately, the result of Australia allowing 330 runs was skipper Alyssa Healy being given a chance to produce her newest gem.

Then best known as the 19-year-old niece of renowned former Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she debuted in 2010 after Australia couldn't capture either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups conducted earlier and has witnessed all through 15 trophy-laden years since.

A T20 championship victory arrived three months after her first appearance and seven world titles have resulted from 10 efforts across formats.

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

That loss "motivated us to reevaluate our levels," Healy commented earlier.

At the following one-day championship in New Zealand, Healy scored 170 against England in the final and was declared player of the series. She made sure her country would not come up short.

If this latest epic knock surpassed that earlier display remains open for discussion.

Certain people claim the argument supporting final game tension. Some might respond with the challenge that comes when confronting a historic chase and a raucous India-supporting crowd of 20,000.

What is certain is this ton was far harder to anticipate.

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 occurred when she led the batting statistics, but this innings was preceded by six games in India since the start of last month in which she had failed to pass 30.

"If you've been watching me in practice sessions, it was a frustrating experience because I feel like I've had no rhythm at all," commented Healy.

"But once you enter the playing area, your competitive instincts take over and you completely engage with the contest."

Healy's competitiveness has consistently been her major advantage - and an invaluable trait in taking over from famous previous leader Meg Lanning.

She was challenged by India's emerging talent Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, out 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 opening delivery and after that Healy was on her way.

"A chance to go out there and engage in competition with her and just have a bit of fun in that regard, kind of motivated me," said Healy.

She reached fifty in 35 pitches - her quickest at the World Cup - and her ton in 84 balls as she punished short deliveries, hitting 21 fours and three big hits.

Once she was out Australia needed 66 more at run per delivery - a manageable total now requiring a leisurely stroll.

"Pursuing 330 is new territory so I'm happy we have the assurance to do that now," added Healy.

"Hopefully we don't have to do it again but, if necessary, we are confident we can do it."

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

Over the past five days a feeling they will win from any position has become more firm - this triumph coming after win against Pakistan by 107-run victory despite being 76-7 at one stage.

Next Australia play Bangladesh before a meeting with traditional opponents England in Indore in 10 days, by which point a last-four spot may likely be confirmed.

It was at that stage they exited last year's T20 World Cup in a surprising setback by South Africa - an encounter Healy couldn't play 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 wanted to have participated through the pain.

But while she subsequently acknowledged those physical issues have postponed thoughts of retirement, this World Cup is likely to be her concluding event as leader in one-day cricket and she is still to achieve an international tournament as skipper.

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