It's a challenge for Australia to set fresh records.

The greatest achievements have been successfully scaled.

We're talking about the squad that has claimed seven Cricket World Cups, plus an additional six T20 titles, and earlier maintained over three years unbeaten in 50-over cricket.

The remaining milestones, the ones sought by the record chasers, are what's still available for a side that has accomplished all there is.

It needed up to Sunday's three-wicket win over India for them to achieve their initial ODI chase over 300, regaining their record for the largest in the female 50-over format, is, in truth, a tribute to the pitchers that have worn canary yellow over the past 50 years.

It's challenging for their hitters to possess a record if never given the chance.

Ultimately, the outcome of Australia allowing 330 runs was leader Alyssa Healy receiving a platform to deliver her latest masterpiece.

Initially recognized as the young family member of renowned former Aussie wicketkeeper Ian, she first played in 2010 after Australia failed to win either of the 20 or 50-over World Cups held the previous year and has seen it all through 15 championship-filled years since.

A T20 World Cup win arrived three months after her debut and seven global championships have resulted from 10 attempts across formats.

The determined wicketkeeper was in attendance in Derby in 2017 when a semi-final defeat by India momentarily interrupted the winning streak.

That loss "drove us to reconsider our benchmarks," Healy said this week.

At the subsequent ODI World Cup in New Zealand, Healy made 170 against England in the championship match and was named player of the tournament. She made sure her country would not fail again.

The question of whether this latest epic knock topped that previous effort is debatable.

Many contend the argument supporting the pressure of a final. Different voices suggest with the test that comes when facing a record target and an enthusiastic Indian fanbase of 20,000.

What's definite is this century was much more difficult to predict.

The Christchurch destruction in 2022 happened while she topped the run-scoring charts, but this performance came after six matches in India from the beginning of the previous month in which she had failed to pass 30.

"If you've been watching me in practice sessions, it's been a disappointing period because it seemed my form was missing completely," said Healy.

"However when you take the field, your competitive nature activate and you completely engage with the match."

Healy's competitiveness has consistently been her major advantage - and a priceless quality in succeeding famous previous leader Meg Lanning.

She was challenged by India's rising star Kranti Gaud in last month's ODI series, fallen to the young fast bowler in all three matches, but this time it merely gave Healy's spark.

One run resulted off Gaud's first delivery and from that point Healy was underway.

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

She achieved fifty in 35 balls - her swiftest at the World Cup - and her hundred in 84 balls as she flogged anything short, scoring 21 fours and three sixes.

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

"Chasing 330 runs is uncharted waters so I'm happy we have the assurance to accomplish that now," stated Healy further.

"Preferably we shouldn't have to do it again but, if we do, we are confident we can succeed."

These statements will be the ultimate thing competing nations at this World Cup should hear.

Over the past five days a feeling they will win from any position has only strengthened - this triumph following success over Pakistan by 107 run margin despite sitting at 76-7 at a certain moment.

Following this Australia face Bangladesh before an encounter with traditional opponents England in Indore in 10 days, by which point a last-four spot may probably be guaranteed.

It was at that stage they left the prior year's T20 World Cup in an unexpected loss by South Africa - an encounter Healy couldn't play because of damaged tissue in her foot as she captained her nation for the inaugural occasion at a major tournament.

So great is her will, she afterwards commented she wanted to have participated despite the injury.

However although she afterwards confessed those injuries have delayed thoughts of retirement, this championship is expected to be her final tournament as skipper in one-day cricket and she is hasn't yet secured an international tournament as leader.

Triumph in India would lead her to the peak of her ultimate challenge.
