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, plus six more T20 titles, and once went 1,294 days without defeat in 50-over cricket.

The alternative records, those for the achievement hunters, are what's still available for a team that has achieved everything.

The fact it required as late as Sunday's three-wicket win over India for them to accomplish their maiden ODI chase above 300, regaining their record for the biggest in women's cricket's 50-over format, is, in truth, a compliment to the pitchers that have worn canary yellow over the last half-century.

It is hard for their hitters to possess a record if never given the opportunity.

In the end, the outcome of Australia allowing 330 runs was leader Alyssa Healy getting a platform to create her latest masterpiece.

Originally famous as the young family member of celebrated previous Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she debuted in 2010 after her country couldn't capture either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups from the prior year and has witnessed all through 15 successful years since.

A T20 World Cup win happened three months after her first appearance and seven world titles have resulted from 10 efforts across formats.

The tough gloveman was in attendance in Derby in 2017 when a last-four loss by India briefly halted the run of success.

That loss "drove us to reevaluate our levels," Healy said this week.

At the subsequent ODI World Cup 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 recent magnificent innings exceeded that prior achievement can be debated.

Some will argue the case for final game tension. Different voices suggest with the challenge that comes when facing a record target and an enthusiastic Indian fanbase of 20,000.

What's definite is this ton was considerably tougher to see coming.

The New Zealand onslaught in 2022 occurred when she topped the run-scoring charts, but this performance was preceded by six games in India over the past few weeks in which she had not exceeded 30 runs.

"If you've observed me in training, it was a disappointing period because it seemed I lacked timing completely," said Healy.

"Yet the moment you enter the playing area, your fighting spirit take over and you just lock into the match."

Healy's fighting spirit has always been her great strength - and an invaluable trait in taking over from famous previous leader Meg Lanning.

She was tormented by India's promising player Kranti Gaud in recent ODI series, dismissed by the emerging pace bowler in every game, but this time it merely gave Healy's spark.

A single came off Gaud's first delivery and from that point the batsman was in motion.

"An opportunity to play and engage in competition with her and just have a bit of fun that way, kind of motivated me," commented Healy.

She got to fifty in 35 deliveries - her fastest at the World Cup - and her hundred in 84 as she punished short deliveries, scoring 21 fours and three sixes.

When she was out the team needed 66 more at one run per ball - a manageable total now requiring a leisurely stroll.

"Pursuing 330 is unfamiliar ground so I'm happy we have the confidence to accomplish that now," continued Healy.

"Preferably we shouldn't have to repeat it but, should it happen, we are confident we can do it."

That comment will be the final thing rival teams at this World Cup should hear.

Over the past five days a sense they will succeed regardless of circumstances has become more firm - this triumph succeeding victory over Pakistan by 107 run margin despite being 76-7 at one stage.

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

During that phase they exited the previous year's T20 World Cup in a surprising setback by South Africa - a game Healy missed because of damaged tissue in her foot as she captained her nation for the first time at a significant event.

So strong is her resolve, she subsequently stated she wanted to have participated despite the injury.

However although she afterwards confessed those physical issues have postponed thoughts of retirement, this championship is likely to be her final tournament as skipper in ODI cricket and she is yet to win a global event as skipper.

Success in India would take her to the summit of her final mountain.
