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

The greatest achievements have long been mastered.

We're talking about the team that has claimed seven Cricket World Cups, in addition to an additional six T20 titles, and previously enjoyed over three years without defeat in 50-over cricket.

The remaining milestones, targeted by the achievement hunters, are all that remain for a squad that has won it all.

It needed up to Sunday's three-wicket win over India for them to accomplish their maiden ODI chase exceeding 300, regaining their record for the biggest in the female 50-over format, is, in truth, a testament to the bowling attack that have sported the yellow jersey over the last half-century.

It is hard for their hitters to maintain a record if never given the possibility.

In the end, the result of Australia conceding 330 was skipper Alyssa Healy being given a platform to create her most recent brilliance.

Initially recognized as the 19-year-old niece of famous ex Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she made her debut in 2010 after her country didn't secure either of the T20 or ODI World Cups from the prior year and has seen it all through 15 successful years since.

Success in the T20 World Cup happened three months after her bow and seven global championships have resulted from 10 attempts across formats.

The tough gloveman was in attendance in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final setback by India momentarily interrupted the winning streak.

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

At the next 50-over World Cup in New Zealand, Healy hit 170 against England in the final and was named player of the tournament. She ensured her country would not fail again.

The question of whether this recent magnificent innings exceeded that prior achievement is debatable.

Certain people claim the case for championship match pressure. Different voices suggest with the test that comes when pursuing an unprecedented total and a loud pro-India audience of 20,000.

What is certain is this ton was considerably tougher to see coming.

The Christchurch carnage in 2022 came as she was the highest scorer, but this knock followed six innings in India since the start of last month in which she had failed to pass 30.

"If you've been watching me in training, it has been a frustrating experience because it seemed I lacked timing at all," said Healy.

"However when you step out on the field, your competitive instincts kick in and you simply focus on the contest."

Healy's competitive nature has consistently been her key asset - and an invaluable trait in succeeding legendary former captain Meg Lanning.

She was challenged by India's rising star Kranti Gaud in the previous month's ODI series, fallen to the emerging pace bowler in each encounter, but here that only provided Healy's spark.

One run resulted off the opening delivery and from there the batsman was in motion.

"A chance to go out there and face the challenge with her and just have a bit of fun that way, kind of motivated me," commented Healy.

She reached fifty in 35 deliveries - her fastest at the global tournament - and her ton in 84 as she flogged anything short, scoring 21 fours and three big hits.

By the time she was removed Australia required another 66 at run per delivery - an unconquered height now requiring a leisurely stroll.

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

"Preferably we shouldn't have to repeat it but, if we do, we know we can do it."

Those words will be the ultimate thing Australia's opponents at this tournament want to hear.

Over the past five days a sense they will succeed regardless of circumstances has grown stronger - this victory following success over Pakistan by 107 run margin despite being 76-7 at one stage.

Following this Australia face Bangladesh before a meeting with traditional opponents England in Indore in 10 days, by which point a semi-final berth may probably be guaranteed.

It was at that stage they left last year's T20 World Cup in a surprising setback by South Africa - an encounter Healy couldn't play because of damaged tissue in her foot as she led her country for the first time at an important competition.

So strong is her resolve, she afterwards commented she regretted not playing through the pain.

Yet even as she later admitted those fitness problems have pushed back consideration of ending her career, this World Cup is anticipated as her concluding event as leader in ODI cricket and she is yet to win a world championship as skipper.

Success in India would bring her to the top of her ultimate challenge.
